A perfect man; he walks the earth in holy calm. 

He wavers not in ways of truth, 

Knoweth no fear, feels no alarm; 

But poised in God, great noble soul. 

Unselfish wields the power 

Of Love o'er all he meets. 

And like a sweet refreshing shower. 

His presence is. The Universe 

Extends to him its untold wealth, 

While loving hands reach eager forth 

To clasp his own. Abundant good, unfailing health 

Blesses this perfect man of God.

Look up! Look to the Heights, 

O seeking soul, 
What if, where thou dost stand, 

The Ocean beat and roll 
In its un-rest. Within thy breast 
The heights and depths of lov^ eternal dwell ; 
Nor sorrow deep, nor angry ocean's swell 
Can draw thee from this haven blest.

**0, believe as thou livesl, that every sound that is spoken over 
the round world, which thou oughtest to hear, will vibrate on thine ear. 

"Every proverb, every book, every by-word that belongs to thee 
for aid or comfort, shall surely come home through open or winding 
passages. 

"Every friend whom not thy fantastic will but the great and

The heart in thee is the heart of all; not a valve, not a wall, not 
an intersection is there anywhere in nature, but one blood rolls 
un-interruptedly an endless circulation through all men, as the water 
of the globe is all one sea, and truly seen, its tide is ONE. — Emerson. 



CI)ou mbo art atDabeneD

Not of earth art thou, but of high heaven, a soul 
whose chords of love sound sweet their melodies, swept 
by the hand of Christ. The song thy soul doth sing rever- 
berates throughout eternity, and wandering sons of earth 
catch the refrain, and looking up, behold a ray of light 
that thrills them into Life Divine. 

Thou carest not for birth, for creed, or state, only 
dost thou behold in each and every one eternal being. 
Thy soul hath opened wide its windows, and all the 
glory of Infinite Love comes wafting through. It is 
no wonder, then, that thou art loved of all. And words 
seem of small stature when compiled, to tell thee of the 
blessedness that thou dost bring mankind. 

Like unto the Christ, thou mayst take by the hand 
the hungering ones, and open wide the door into the 
halls of Light and Wisdom, and this may be thy sweet 



reward. As this hath satisfied the Christ, so doth it 
bring to thy great soul the Peace of God. 



Throbbing from out the heart of the Divine sweeps 
the soul of man, in eternal progression. Naught can 
stay its power. The life-line of the Infinite is as 
unbroken as eternity; and when a soul mounts the 
Horeb-heights of consciousness, there, shall that one 
seize the prize of spiritual wisdom and revel in the illum- 
ination thereof. 

Then, years may come and go, and yet it is as though 
time had never been. Swept aside are the shades of the 
past; broken down the monuments erected on which to 
place future Gods. The Eternal Now, to this evolved 
and awakened soul is all it asks, and in this Eternal 
Now is all fullness.

Cfte pptoer of 90inD 

Material Science, so called, combined with Meta- 
physics, is the power that is awakening within the mind 
of man the more wonderful revelations that shall 
make for the nnfoldment of mankind in the hidden 
knowledge of what life is— the unseen forces that are 
continually at work about and within us, the Infinite 
Energy that is in and through all, and is all : Electricity, 
the law of gravitation, the law of vibration which taken 
at its different rates, creates in manifestation untold 
millions of species of life. All these forces which in 
the laboratories of the greatest scientists have been 
proven to exist, are invisible to the eye of man— never- 
theless working throughout all things, throughout all 
space. 

In the unlimited universe of spirit which no mechan- 
ical eye can discern, and no individual mind can, as yet, 
compass, is this Invisible Intelligent Presence. Material 
Science has proven the existence of this Energy by its 
wonderful methods of invention— the greatest power, 
that of the MIND, as being able tO' discern and prove 
the existence of these forces, we must not overlook. 
Jesus, the greatest Scientific Teacher the world has ever 
known, dealt first with the mind, and thus he controlled 
the seemingly lesser powers; making even the winds 
and the waves obey his command, creating at will from 
out the universal storehouse of energy all that was 

23 



necessary for the sustenance of life; ckemically produc- 
ing, by the power of his mind, the wine from the water; 
annulling* all hitherto seemingly established laws regard- 
ing death by his prompt and decisive action of mind in 
raising the dead. 

And greater than all these, proving there was no 
death by laying down his life on the cross and at will 
taking it up again in the— what we designate— material 
body, thus trying to teach mankind of the iniinite power 
of the mind when directed in line with the currents of 
Selfless love and a knowledge of the Truth that mind, 
intelligence, is the power that is all supreme in the Har- 
monious and Righteous out-workings of the Highest in 
Man: Unfolded into greater realms of understanding of 
the power of Mind. 

Jesus, after having finished his mission as instructor 
to the intelligence of man, so etheralized the atoms of 
his body that he becamie invisible or visible, at will. 
Partook of the food to prove to his disciples the quality 
of vibratory force that it was composed of, and lastly 
ascended at will intO' the ether of the Divine Love that 
was awaiting as one great presence to receive him. 

To-day it is being proven by photography and other 
means that the soul on leaving the body can be dis- 
cerned. Such is the scepticism of the age that these 
scientific means must be used to prove the immortality 
of life. Rather should man be learning the power of 
mind in such a way that the body could be handled, 
reduced back to first cause, spirit, or invisible energy, 
as did Jesus, thereby overcoming death and proving the 
eternal truth of life. 

24 



Along the ages past where man has been blindly 
groping in ignorance, he has not deemed it necessary 
tO' think for himself, but the time has come when every 
soul as an individualized center must perceive the fact 
that his mind was given him for a purpose, and that 
purpose the betterment, the advancement of not only his 
own soul, but to so let his light shine that all who per- 
ceive him may know that mankind is the highest mani- 
festation of the Infinite Intelligence, and that unto this 
evolved center of Conscious Intelligence is given the 
power tO' create, to command, to love. 

Greater forces are being daily, hourly, established 
in the Metaphysical Brain of Man than are, or can be 
produced in the scientific laboratories of the world. And 
from every quarter is being heralded the good news of 
the awakening of mankind to the finer forces of his 
being, which puts him in touch with the Infinite, and 
through which he may foretell greater discoveries 
through the power of his mind, linked to the Infinite 
Intelligence, than ages of material science can demon- 
strate. 

Advanced thinkers, in the silence of their labora- 
tories, guided by the Infinite Intelligence, receive won- 
derful impressions, they know not from what source, 
presumably, at the time, but which, when carried into 
execution, astonish the world. 

The mind of man in such an instance, has gone out 
into the mysterious depths of Intelligence and Concen- 
tration on the one desire to bring forth these wonderful 
discoveries for the improvement of the race. Thus he 
has made of himself an open receptacle for the Great 

25 



and ALL-KNOWING MIND, which on his absorption 
and appropriation of, becomes Ms mind, and he pro- 
duces, as did Jesus, through this avenue, what— in olden 
times— would have been indicated as miracles. 

When Man sO' concentrates on the great problem of 
life as the greatest of all subjects that he has to deal 
with, then as like a flash from a clear sky, will com^e 
the revelation— "Mind controls all absolutely, now and 
for eternity." 

Then will the lesser give way for the greater, and 
the mind of man, the "I am'' expand into the limitless 
grandeur of the Universal. 

Working no longer under limitations, he perceives 
that to have and to hold things as his own, is not the 
highest, for within him lays the power of creation as his 
needs appear, in so far as he will work as did Jesus, in 
selflessness and infinite love. 

Jesus came not as a sacrifice for man's sins. He 
came to teach man the scientific working principle of 
the power of mind when in accord with the Great Har- 
monious Law of the Universe. Proving life Eternal, and 
man one with this power and not under laws of limita- 
tion and death. 

The scientific discoveries of the age but go to prove 
the science of the teachings of Jesus; proving there is 
an "Infinite and Eternal Energy," and that intelligence 
evolved in the mind of man creates. "If ye desire a 
thing, it shall be established unto you," and "Ask, 
believing that ye have received," for all wisdom, all 
power is in this Universal Intelligence, and is ever at the 

26 



disposal of him who; loves the good supremely, and his 
Deisrhbor as himself. 



■^o' 



Man is a mental being in entirety. All that is visible 
is composed of the invisible harmonious vibrations of 
ether. This is the All Intelligent Presence, Spirit, God, 
Omnipresence, Intinite Energy, Father, or we may call 
it by whatever name seems most to appeal to our indi- 
vidual need. 

If we place the magnet, the mind, in line with the 
great creative Harmonious Current of Life, we shall be 
able to produce the perfect manifestation in all lines of 
desire. If, on the contrary, we place the mind or mag- 
net outside the true and harmonious, we shall not affect 
the One great and infinite Power that eternally is, but 
we shall draw the needle, our own life, our own body, 
from its true vibration, and thus produce discord and 
inliarmony. 

When Jesus healed he performed no miracle, he 
simply brought into manifestation the natural and true 
state of Harmonious Law. He sought to demonstrate 
this scientific truth of mind as creative power in all his 
teachings. 

Undoubtedly he was convinced that he would have 
to take himself from among the followers in order that 
they might not worship his personality, but rather be 
drawn to the principle, and the intelligent use thereof, 
for he said : ' ' I go that the comforter may come to you. ' ^ 
He had proven all things possible to man, provided the 
principle was adliered to. 

Camille Flammarion says, in speaking of the body: 

27 



^^It is ruled, directed and organized by our universal 
animating force. This force we may surely dignify by 
the name of soul. And the body, however material it 
may appear to us, is nothing but a harmonious grouping 
due tO' the attractive action of this inner force. But 
this force is immaterial, invisible, intangible and impon- 
derable, like the attractive force which locks the world 
amid the universal harmony." 

Jesus, being aware of all these great truths, plus 
infinitely greater ones, that shall appear in due time to 
the thinking and searching mind of man, understood 
spirit to be the real substance and the mind or soul of 
man tO' be the real Ego that has the power of manifest- 
ing as the perfect principle itself.

I happened into Heaven one day.

Together, you and I, dear heart, 

Throughout the endless aeons of eternity do live, 

Each in the other; 

And of the other each a part; 

One in the whole. 
The heart-throb that doth tell thy Joy 

Is but the echo of my soul 
Whispering throughout the silence, sweet, of love, 
Of aspiration that doth lift us 

T'o' the heights above. 

Together, you and I. Would Life be sweet 
With half the knowledge of thy God! 
Couldst thou withstand the divining rod 
And say— ''It is wellT' 

Ah no, dear heart, 
'Twere chaos drear to know not all of God. 
When I can teach my soul to coldly dwell 

From thee apart. 
Then Heaven hath, lost its radiance. 

Earth its sun. 
What would life be without thee, dear? 
A dismal void, a soulless cheer. 
There ever sounds throughout my soul 
A melody too sweet for words; 
In which the rhythmic notes of love 

Of thy great heart. 
Play all the grander, deeper part, 

31 



And leads and lures me on and on 

To heights sublime, to LOVE DIVINE. 

Together, you and I. The song each soul doth sing— 

A God-note of itself— yet mingling, 

Softly blends, one with the other; 

As greater anthems into heavenly music ring. 

In cadence most divine, and most complete. 

The symphonies of perfect love. 
Pulsating into greater power, as soul communes with soul 

And each the other proves. 



a laeali^ation 

You are walking upon the mountain-tops of Christ 
Consciousness. Your soul is bathed in the splendor of 
the Universal Harmony. You gaze into the valley of 
peace and love, knowing only the Divine Inspiration of 
the Christ indwelling. You now behold, as did the 
Master, your entire being throbbing in unison with the 
Father. 

You see yourself a center of Peace and Power, of 
Love and Truth. You are now breathing out in Omni- 
presence your messages of inspiration to every soul in 
the Universe. 

You behold yourself an all-penetrating breath of 
Omniscience thrown out into Iniinite space. One with 
the universal presence, carrying into the very depths of 
ignorance and sin the warmth of love, the sweetness and 
purity of life, the wisdom of knowledge through iinder- 
standing. 

You are a power undreamed of in the possibilities 
of man as manifesting on the earth-plane. You are a 
Christ, a Savior, a God. You arC' the Universal Harmony 
individualized upon earth, that you may be seen and 
heard of men, proclaiming to their understanding the 
truth of their God indwelling. 



33 



Very early in the morning, as usual, I began the 
realization of the Omnipresence, affirming silently, "I 
am surrounded and permeated by the All Good. ' ' Inhal- 
ing deeply, and slowly exhaling, I sensed myself con- 
sciously drifting out of the body, into a state of light- 
ness and buoyancy. 

I realized that I was being taken in the arms of 
Infinite Love, and borne intO' brighter scenes than those 
of the earth-plane. The mind was kept consciously in 
touch with the body by the affirmation '^I desire to bring 
back a vivid consciousness of all I see and hear in this 
bright realm.'' 

A peculiar rocking sensation took possession of me. 
Presently I found myself softly humming a sweet old 
melody, in which, first, the voice of my Angel Mother 
joined, followed by another, and still another, until a 
mighty chorus was pealing forth and reverberating 
throughout the heavens. And I, who had so longed to 
hear the melodies of Heaven, voiced by the angel choir, 
was in the very midst of it. 

Slowly, softly, the last sweet note died away. Glanc- 
ing down, I beheld on a low stool at my feet, an open 
parchment. So intent was I in deciphering the message 
thereon, I found myself coming again into bodily con- 
sciousness, and meditated, ''It is not best to lose what I 
know to be in store for me here, to further insist on the 

34 



reading of this parchment. I shall see it again.'' Re- 
luctantly I turned from it, and as I gave it a farewell 
glance, saw plainly, midway the paper, the words ''The 
ark of the covenant.'' 

By some mighty power, I was then instantly borne 
out over landscape that earth-language cannot picture; 
glowing in splendor, rare in coloring, iridescent the fol- 
iage, entrancing the bloom; soft and velvety the carpets 
of green. The crystal lakes be-jeweled beyond concep- 
tion of loveliness. 

I was seemingly alone; and yet often sensing a pres- 
ence, either at one side or the other, turning to see who 
it might be, would behold only an immense bank of 
glowing bloom, deep and divinely beautiful in tintings, 
sweet and almost overpowering in aroma. I was wafted 
here and there at my own sweet will, as I was attracted 
by new scenes of beauty. I was filled with wonder and 
amazement, knowing consciously that I was glimpsing 
the spirit realm, and longing earnestly to bring back to 
earth-life, a vivid remembrance of its loveliness. 

Even the blossoms would reach out to caress me as 
I passed them, while from some of their petals seemed 
to emerge baby hands that clasped me close; and from 
rare depths of bloom, peered eyes of heavenly hue that 
lured me into deeper labyrinths of this fascinating mys- 
tery. I was as light as air. The birds of brilliant 
plumage and musical notes soared with me, touching the 
foliage, dipping their wings lightly in the dazzling water, 
as in unison we caressed the passing loveliness. 

Butterflies of glowing colors would lightly touch my 
lips as I listened closely to catch the words they seemed 

35 



to imprint thereon. Alone with Nature! Alone with 
God! My soul reveled in satisfaction. The soft caress 
of the wafting zephyrs seemed sweeping over aeolian 
harp-strings so sweet its murmurings. I gave myself 
up tO' deliciously drift and drink deep of this spirit 
realm, which grew more and more bewildering, more in- 
tensely fascinating, until — on the crest of a mountain— 
I stood, and lo! All was changed in the twinkling of 
an eye, into what appeared to be a winter scene. All 
was as white as snow, soft and downy, glittering and 
sparkling, be- jeweled flakes of frost and myriad tinted, 
like diamonds. 

I beheld no sun; no rays of light from any direct 
source, and yet everything was aglow with dazzling 
brilliancy. I said: ^^As beautiful as it all is, still I do 
not like winter; summer with her flowers and balmy 
breath, dancing waters and singing birds, appeals much 
more to me than this.'^ Close beside me a voice softly 
answered, ^^But this is our winter, dear, it will not 
chill you. ' ' Glancing around, I beheld my sainted mother 
in radiant robes of white. Her hand, in which she 
clasped mine, was warm and very similar to the touch 
of loving hands on earth, save that there was a light 
electric current playing through my being, coming direct 
from her hand through mine. Then she drew me close 
in the gentle Mother embrace I knew so well. Together 
we stood in this fairy-land of diamond lights and snowy 
whiteness, lost in blissful realization of re-united love. 
No words were spoken. The silence had a language of 
the soul, all its own. 

Presently she withdrew from me and I threw myself 
upon the ground into what I supposed would touch me 

36 



with a chill ; but no ! It was cool, invigorating, penetrat- 
ing me through and through with its lightness, buoyancy 
and brilliancy. I fairly sparkled and scintillated in 
unison with it. I bathed in its snowy whiteness, gathered 
it in my hands, tossed it up, danced in childish glee, and 
again was awed into deep silence. My Mother watched 
me with keen interest, and after a time, drew near, 
touched my arm gently, and we floated out, higher, on 
and on. Still all was of this gleaming white, this intense 
purity. 

Presently we came to a gate-way opening into 
another realm. I desired to enter. Mother quietly 
expostulated with me, and just at this moment, my elder 
brother, who had been out in spirit life for many years, 
stood by me and laughingly said, as he took my hand, 
and threw himself carelessly against one of the pillars 
of the gate-way— '^ You surely do not want to enter 
there. It will disappoint you sorely." Eager to work 
out my own salvation, I answered— ^ 'I desire to see it 
all;'' and laughingly pushed him aside. 

The gate flew open as if by magic, and I stood alone 
within the walls of an enclosure that looked much like 
earth. I knew myself as spirit, being conscious of having 
left the body, and so had no fear, but called back ^'Are 
you not coming. Mother?" I received no answer. It 
was a transformation scene I did not enjoy, but I had 
so willed it, therefore began my tour of investigation. 
I found different sized enclosures in which were beautiful 
animals of all descriptions, but so surrounded that escape 
seemed impossible. Their eyes looked into mine so 
appealingly my heart fairly throbbed with sadness to see 
them thus confined. Their longing for freedom was very 

37 



evident, and yet they seemed so helpless. * ' So it is with 
earth's children/' was softly breathed in my ear. I 
felt a trifle chagrined that I had insisted on entering 
here, and somewhat fearful; however, I had made the 
selection, and must work out my own salvation. ^'I 
shall move out on the first ray of light I see. I am 
spirit. The pathway of spirit can not be limited.'' No 
sooner affirmed than realized; but I found myself in a 
larger and lighter enclosure. Again I affirmed, ' ^ I shall 
find another gleam of light to guide me on to freedom." 
Instantly I found myself outside the walls and alone. 

Advancing up the hill-side, I found the shimmering 
lights of rare beauty, still in evidence everywhere, save 
immediately under my feet, which rested on the harvest 
time of grain, a perfect carpet, soft and yielding to my 
step. A short distance from where I stood, all blended 
into glittering scenes of white. Scanning eagerly its 
loveliness, behold a new glory dawned on my view. 
Against the horizon appeared several mountain peaks, 
gleaming, sparkling white. High and clear against the 
sky a blaze of diamond lights. But one, whose loveli- 
ness was so divine that pen can not portray it, stood out 
from among the others, alone, radiant, glorified in its 
sheen of purity. I was spell-bound; gazing long in rapt 
adoration of its magnificence. 

Slightly down its side there appeared a light, tran- 
scendent in splendor, bathing all with inexpressible love- 
liness. A shadowy form arose from out this light, and 
around this form, this fleecy cloud, came all the colors 
in their most mellow tints, from softest cream-like shad- 
ings, to daintiest pinks and lavenders, on into heavenly 
blues, and deeper, richer tints of purple; then all blended 

38 



at the base into purest white and gold. I stretched forth 
my arms, and in ecstasy cried out ^'Divine! Divine! 
Divine!'' Instantly my mother's voice softly said, 
^ * Mount Olivet. ' ' I reached out to clasp her hand. ^ ' Do 
not touch me. It is enough," she said. 

A peculiar thrill swept throughout my being as I 
peacefully opened my eyes once more on earth conditions. 

The link connecting the seen with the unseen was 
forged anew, and the wonderland of the Infinite was close 
at hand. Most assuredly do I know that I have glimpsed 
its beauties, among which is the spiritualized, the sacred 
Mount Olivet, from which ascended our Savior. 

With pleasure I record this, my voyage into the 
^^ Great Beyond" which seems far more vivid to me 
than any earth journey I have ever taken, the transcend- 
ent beauties of which no pen can portray, no language, 
save that of the soul, express.

an affirmation 

There is the Great and Infinite Mind that knoweth 
all things, of which my mind is a part. My soul is of 
the Great Oversoul. My sight is that of the All Seeing 
Eye. My hearing, that of the All Hearing One that 
revels in the Universal Harmonies. My voice is of that 
Great Symphonic Melody, the Music of the Spheres that 
sways the Powers in the Seen and the Unseen, at its 
slightest tone. 

My Breath is of the Great Breath which is the Life 
of All. It is of the ether of High Heaven in whose 
realms I float at will on the breath of Love, viewing the 
transcendent glories that bloom eternal in the boundless- 
ness of Spirit.

Dost thou not know, soul of man, 

How limitless is thy might? 
Canst thou not trust the Father's plan, 

And sense the dawning light? 

E'er flowing through thee is a stream 

Of God-illumined fire; 
Thou art not born to idly dream. 

Thy God cries— ''Come up higher!'' 

Thou art not plebian, sleuth or slave; 

And thou canst trust the call, "believe"! 
Thou hast eternal power to save, 

E 'er urging on. Thou shalt achieve.

CDe potoer of ILotoe 

If people only knew the bountiful provider, the 
easy task-master that LOVE is, the jails and peniten- 
tiaries would not be so thronged. If, every morning, 
each one would say ^^I will take with me this morning 
into the world, and its onward crush, just the one 
weapon— Love,'' he would find the world at his feet, God 
revealed and plenty of all good flowing to him from 
every quarter. 

If this sweet weapon— Love— could be used for but 
one short hour, by all the unions and trusts in the 
country, it would revolutionize the entire labor question 
and bring plenty and happiness into every home. It 
would open the purse strings of the money-holders and 
fill the home of every laborer in the land, with radiant 
sunshine. It would give to every man, woman and child, 
superb health. 

Love is the sum and substance of the teachings of 
Jesus Christ that were given for all. He taught that we 
should love the Good supreme, the good in everybody, 
and everything. Eefuse to talk over the ill things of 
life. Eefuse to condemn; but determine to win all 
through Love. Then comes the desired peace and plenty. 
This great power of unselfish love in one's consciousness, 
is a drawing card that can not fail you. No one can 
resist the loving one, the sweet smile, the kind act. 

Cease all self-condemnation and gO' forth in life with 

42 



this one avowed purpose in mind, *^I will win all through 
Love," and then let Love radiate from you. No matter 
if you have on the commonest of clothing it will work 
like magic and you will be recognized as a bright, sweet 
and pure presence, that none can resist. ^'He who runs 
may read" such an one. The battle is yours, and you 
are a blessing to the entire world. 

LOVE unlocks all sorts of prison-doors, breaks 
down all walls of oppression, melts away all barriers to 
success, and floods the entire being with light. 

This is nothing more than good common sense, 
sound philosophy, and the best receipt ever given for 
overcoming poverty, gloom, sickness, worry, sin and care. 
There is a LOVE so deep, so grand, that it can not be 
sounded or compassed by the mind of man, until he be 
unfolded into the perfect Intelligence of the Universe. 

Seek not to confound the use of LOVE with that 
of personal gain or selfish satisfaction, but go into the 
depths of the Christ teachings, and fiK)m them bring 
forth the bright jewels that lay hidden to the unsearch- 
ing mind. Bring forth the bright gems that gleam and 
scintillate from the depths of true God consciousness, 
and beam forth as brilliant rays of love-light, that pierce 
the gloom of every sorrowing heart in the Universe. 

Then break forth, soul, into the ONE Grand Theme 
of LOVE that was given to the world in the glowing 
teachings of Christ Jesus; and this world will become so 
charged with brightness, so brilliant, that all the worlds 
surrounding her shall be attracted to our bright sphere, 
and LOVE shall be the ALL KNOWN and Widely wor- 

43 



shipped GOD; attracting all that inhabit the entire uni- 
verse of worlds. This is no mythical teaching. It is the 
philosophical teaching of Jesus, demonstrated by him 
wherever he went, and whenever he spoke. 

These wondrous words of LOVE are to be brought 
into an abiding state of use; the fruits of which are 
Harmony, Freedom, Prosperity, Wisdom and Pure Spirit 
Consciousness, which becomes inevitably in prominence 
in every seeking soul. 

LOVE was the power which Jesus wielded. LOVE 
was, and is, the awakening Life presence, the bountiful 
provider, the all-healing presence, the kingdom of Heaven 
consciousness which his disciples had at times, when 
they came in closest spiritual touch with Christ. 

LOVE unfolded peace tO' the hearts of the sorrow- 
ing, and opened the eyes of the blind; healed the lepers, 
and turned darkness into ligtit. Not for self -glory did 
Christ wield this mighty power of LOVE. His teachings 
are handed down to us through generations, as the 
Greatest, most sacred, and yet most practical, ever given 
to the world. 

Would it not have been wise to have destroyed the 
old Mosaic teachings and laws entirely, when our Savior 
came teaching such wondrous LOVE? Not even holding 
to these old documents as a matter of History? For do 
we not even to-day see the error that fills the mind of 
the over-zealous Bible reader? Those who ^'believe 
every word in the Bible?'' It seems incredible that any 
one can make such a random statement, and if it is so, 
that they so blindly believe, is it any wonder that in 
hearing of crime, these same people cry out that the 

44 



guilty one be punished? Christ only prayed— '^Father, 
forgive them, for they know not what they do.'' Again 
he teaches— "LOVE is the fulfilling of the law.'' 

The brightest star in the diadem of the immortals 
is that LOVE which symbolizes the teachings of Christ; 
that which comes straight from the fountain of love 
within each soul; and when a soul is poised in LOVE, 
untouched by selfish motives, that soul has the power 
to speak the words of spirit, and of life to all creation, 
and as he speaks, so speaks God; and as God speaks, 
the Universe obeys. Thus man through the power of 
LOVE, as taught by Jesus Christ, has proven that all 
power is given unto him in heaven and on earth. 



Nature is God that loves everything into manifesta- 
tion.

A poem strange kept singing in my brain. 

It stole or crept through matter gray 

In fascination sweet. It dazzled and it danced 

And like a child at play 

It never wearied grew, but sang of love, 

Prated of Joy and gurgled on in glee, 

And through this citadel of gray 

In rhythmic words it jostled me. 

From mom 'til night I knew no rest. 

It seemed as yet a formless thing. 

And still, throughout the hours of sleep, 

'Twould thrill and cause my heart to sing 

Deep songs of Joy; so near my love, 

So far away unrest, distrust, 

I'd mount to heavenly realms on wings 

Of light; but to learn that I must 

Awakened be, and know it all a dream. 

That sweet elusive verse was only mine 

In darkest quiet hours of night when only consciousness 

Of soul was rife, and not a line 

Could visibly be writ. Weeks formed in months 

And months in years, and still my poem sang 

Of love, of something yet beyond, a depth 

I could not fathom. How it rang 

Its bells of sweet unrest within my soul. At last 

I vaunted forth to conquer, and to meet 

The world as best I could, and drown 

46 



This thing, this verse to me so sweet, 
And yet so vague; and I succeeded quite, 
For look ye! yonder in the eventide, 
Behold my verse, the poem rare. 
My heart 's best Love, my Queen, my Bride. 



Swing out into the Universal. Forget the trivial 
ills of the passing hour, and know thy power over them. 
Is it worth while to warp and shrivel thy beautiful body 
and throw around thy soul seeming bonds of limitation 
by allowing thyself to dwell in small and obstructed 
avenues of thought! 

Surmount negative conditions that would announce 
themselves as realities and let thy soul have freedom to 
give and receive of the mighty and never ceasing supply 
of Intelligent Harmonious Life. 

The wheels of the Great Universe never cease activity 
and one who takes himself out of the harmonious vibra- 
tions, either by his will or through ignorance of the law, 
quickly finds himself in untrue lines. 

Harmonize with that thou dost contact, consciously 
dwell in peace, unity and wisdom, thus becoming a Uni- 
versal Soul. Tlien shall every moment of thy life for 
eternity prove a blessing to mankind. 

47 



Then Life, Love, Power, will know fullness in and 
through thee and thou shalt be glorified with the Father ^s 
Own Self. 



You ask ^' Where have I beenr^ On yon Elysian 
hills, from whose sweet heights I view the mountains in 
the distance farther on, rise as spires and domes, cathe- 
drals and altars, rare in architectural beauty and 
enshrined in bounteous divinity and radiance. I walk 
the enchanted path beneath the towering trees and 
breathe within my soul my Oneness with all life. 

I encircle with my arms, in all simplicity and trust, 
the trunks of grand old trees ^^ aflame with God,'' and 
my open soul thereby receives the vital meaning, the 
interpretation of spiritual vitality; as, consciously, I 
dwell in the boundless realm of Harmony and Love.

aborning 

The sun breaks over the eastern line, with a soft 
flood of light, throwing rays of warmth and love into 
every receptive heart; thrilling into new life and beauty 
every living thing. 

The plants, flowers, foliage, verdure of every descrip- 
tion, awaken in tender and joyous greeting, to bless 
its shining face. The entire sky lends her entrancing 
loveliness to assist in the glory of the awakening mom. 
The birds burst forth in one grand chorus of sweetest 
melody and praise; the earth throbs into greater ecstasy, 
and gladly yields herself tO' the sweet caress and warm 
kisses of the morning sun. The teardrops of dew which 
have SO' refreshed the earth in the stillness of the night, 
are again absorbed into the great atmosphere of love, 
only to return with the going down of the sun, to again 
bathe each blade of grass and expectant blossom. 

It is the One Life, and gladly the tiny dewdrops 
give tribute to* the glorious monarch of the day; know- 
ing that as they desire and are needed, so will the great 
heart of Love gently allow them to return in their errand 
of mercy, tO' refresh sweet Mother Earth. 

Heavenly Mornings! glorified with this radiant sun- 
burst of Love and Light. The sweetness of the atmos- 
phere, the glory of the sky, engage our most heartfelt 
attention. Do we not know a more glorious morning 
when the sun of Love breaks over the horizon of our 

49 



consciousness, leaving behind all darkness and gloom, 
making us to embrace all life with glowing, infinite 
warmth and love? Shining not alone for One, but for 
all mankind; all life; every pebble and mountain, flow- 
ing stream and boundless ocean, tiny shrub and blade of 
gTass, to mighty forest. Fairly merging our own happi- 
ness into the song of the birds; shining steadily, tenderly, 
on all alike. Permeating with our great soul warmth 
every one whom our eyes rest upon, irrespective of per- 
son, race or kind. 

Thrilling all into new life, giving new impetus to 
every opening bud of beauty, assisting the full blown 
into life, into greater harmony and fragrance, and 
shedding a soft glow of appreciation on all that are 
laying off the sere and faded leaves, into a conscious- 
ness of greater glories that are unfolding before them, 
and demonstrating to them the great truth of immor- 
tal Life. Proving the mighty truth of Love manifest 
in the flesh, by our constant radiation of the sun's rays 
from our own soul, the great Sun Center, or God Center 
within, that is a perpetual morning of rare beauty and 
choice blessings. 

This sunshine in the soul, this glowing love, absorbs 
all else and draws all good to itself, radiating broad- 
cast the Divine Being, which every child of God is. We 
may let this light shine with such splendor that the 
clouds, even, may become a grand spectacular display of 
wondrous beauty, and all will pause and exclaim on 
their exquisite loveliness, the rare tints and gorgeous 
linings of golden glory. Thus will the very clouds 
prove a blessing to the weary wayfarer, as he meets us 
in the onward march of time. 

50 



If there be leaden days and the raindrops fall, still 
the sun, the soul, is shining within; and after the bap- 
tism of refreshing shower or even days of rain, our light 
may burst forth in renewed splendor, bringing forth 
greater fruits, and stronger growth, with our never- 
ceasing warmth and love. 

If we are closed out of some lives, by their own 
cloud-brooding consciousness, then stand ready to shine in 
the moment they lift the veil, and great shall be their 
growth and soul awakening. For none can withstand 
the great, gleaming, penetrating light and love of an 
ever radiant sunburst of Ttuth, centered in God, and a 
veritable Sun of God. 

This is manifesting Love in the flesh, as did Jesus. 
This is shining every moment, whenever and wherever 
any one will enter our presence, or allow the morning 
of our presence to dawn upon their receptive vision.

S©p IButterQp 

I love you, darling butterfly, 

In your dress of black and gold. 

Drift closer, please, your are so shy; 
I'd dearly love to hold 
You in my hand. 

I promise, sweet, your tiny feet 

Shall rest at your own will 
Upon my finger. I entreat 

That I may sense the thrill 

Of your bright beauty 
In my hand. 

Who painted you such gorgeous tints. 

Are they of heaven! these shining glints 
Of color that so shimmer as you, go 
From flower to flower, now fast, now slow. 

E'er fluttering, fluffing, like a sprite? 

Happy all day. In the still of the night 
Eesting at will in the heart of a flower. 
Ne'er counting time, but— hour by hour — 
Gathering in color rich tints from the sun. 

Come! Eest on my hand, 
You pretty one. 

I'll not spoil your powder of black and gold, 

That gives you glory so rare to behold. 

I'll not bruise your wings, or your feet, sweet one. 



I simply will love you, from sun to sun. 
If you will but rest 

On my hand, sweet one. 



Oppressed, Sayst Thou? Not so, great soul. Thou 
art thrice blessed in Truth, in Love, in Power. Be- 
lievest thou in error's way! That there is error to 
overthrow thee I Then awaken greater knowledge of 
thine own soul's power, and know thou those that teach 
thee error hath power, do still themselves in bonds of 
slavery struggle. They are but still striving to free 
their own untutored souls from chains of doubt and 
fear forged by their own mad fancies. 

Error is not a part of God, nor hath it any power 
save that thine own soul giveth it in some sad hour of 
thine own wavering mind. Neither is there any mind 
so fraught with power when functioning not in the Uni- 
versal Harmony as to touch thine own pure soul. 

Arise to nobler thoughts and grander deeds, than 
dwelling on the untruths thou dost conjure in thine own 
un-enlightened mind. Break thou the bonds of Pharisa- 
ical pride, and stand Thou alone with thy GOD, until 
thou canst say— ^^ Verily, I fear Naught." 

On Mountain top, in woodland glen, in dancing 
waters, in shining stars, in souls unfolding 'neath thy 
word of Truth, in melodies entrancing, and in sunlight's 
gleam, let thou thy soul abide. The Master hath said 
^'If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall 
ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you*' 
as you desire. 

53 



Then quibble not over the isms and creeds and 
shadows of that which darkens thy horizon. Is not one 
gleam from out the radiance of the GREAT SUN 
CENTER, GOD, within thy soul, more to thee than vol- 
unms of that which is but a reiteration of what another 
hath said? Know ye not that UNTO YOU A CHRIST 
IS BORN? Know ye not that the POWER OF GOD is 
GIVEN UNTO YOU, to stand forth a center of Divine 
Intelligence? Thy soul rebels at being bound and fet- 
tered like a galley-slave and cries aloud for ^'freedom!'' 
And wouldst thou strangle the cries of the Christ-child 
within thee? 

Wonderful power hath been given thee, but not to 
be seen and heard of men, rather to do the works of 
him that sent thee. 

Be thou free in the universe of Harmonious Law, 
to do its bidding. The Christ within thee will never 
bow the knee to creeds and dogmas, to rules and despot- 
ism. THINE OWN TRUE SELF DEMANDS A FEAR- 
LESS RECOGNITION. Bow not to lesser powers than 
the MOST HIGH. 

Thou art GOD MANIFEST, then do thou the God- 
like work. Take up thy word of truth, and fearlessly 
*' Follow thou me, for my yoke is easy and my burden 
is light' ^; so saith our great Teacher, the Master Mind 
of the Universe. 



54 



There is nothing but that Life vibrates through it 
in holy calm. 



The DIVINE seeks expression. It must and will 
find recognition. No matter how relentlessly man may 
keep smothering the Harmonious Law of his being, it 
is a useless task, as time will prove. Look at the seem- 
ingly most hardened of God's creation, how they melt 
and mingle almost unconsciously in the purity and 
sweetness of Nature, if given a day of Freedom from 
their pent-up dens of infamy, alone with the beauties 
of Nature, with song-birds and fragrant flowers, the 
sweet wind playing an accompaniment of Peace in the 
soft rustling leaves of the trees, which to them tells its 
own glad song of welcome. 

Note how the hungry eye scans the winsome bits of 
scenery the distant grandeur of the mountains raising 
their heads of smoked pearl from their depths of bluish 
haze; the valleys in their rare beauty, the cool touches 
of green, and dainty coloring of field and flowers. Can 
you not see in the eager eye that sweeps the quiet lake, 
the longing for its pure reflection in their own souls? 
There are none so lost but that the DIVINE is ALL of 
them, the only lasting, the only real presence. 

Darkness can not linger when once the soul catches 
a sweet and refreshing glimpse of the DIVINE within. 
An earnest desire for freedom, a cry ^^I am a-weary of 
the un-true!'' is the herald of the true self claiming 
its own. 

55 



The Divine, knowing no error, never reproaches; 
is of too pure eyes to look into the shadowy past, looks 
not tO' the future, but divulges the glory and fullness 
of the Eternal Now. It is not lectures and reproaches, 
neither schools or money that is needed to bring out 
the God innate in every soul. It is rather the giving 
to each and every one an opportunity tO' behold tolerance 
and love, and God attributes in those who do know of 
the Divine Indwelling. 

Throwing open to their hungering souls the door 
to Nature's heart, as also the door to our own love, that 
they may behold the Father's face, that they may see 
in the eyes of the awakened ones, appreciation of the 
Divine that is longing for expression in their souls. 
Allowing them to thinly freely, without feeling them- 
selves under condemnation and censure of those more 
progressed in the knowledge of the Truth. 



I can bathe in the fullness of the Good, if I will. 
I can live in it, if I will. I can drink from the fountain 
of Joy, if I will. I can be a magnet that draws only 
good, if I will. I can uplift mankind, if I will. I can 
so link myself in ONENESS with the Father, that His 
will can be mine, and the ''I will'' show forth as the 
Father's will. 



56 



The activities of God are ever pressing on to more 
righteous fulfillment. 



* * * * 



Love is the crowning glory of the soul. In it, the 
soul expanding, enters the unfathomable depths of God- 
Consciousness, and knows of a truth the power that 
overcometh all. 



* * 



57 



(SoD S^peaking in ^an 

Dear longing heart, if thou wouldst know 
The words of Truth which from me flow 
To meet the need thy soul doth feel, 
Lend me thine ear; and gently kneel 
Before the shrine of Life Divine, 
Breathing sweet incense from the lines 
That fall full fast from lips of Love 
To lift thee to that realm above. 



I am thy Life. Thou art Divine. 
Then waver not. My love is thine. 
As sweet flowers bloom in Edenland, 
So Life and Love weave in a strand 
The power and peace that flood thy soul 
In Omnipresence. One, the whole. 
While, blossoming beneath thy feet, 
Are dainty flowers, white and sweet. 



The dear Clirist presence opes the gate, 
And Love is Queen. There is no fate 
That holds thee from expressing all 
Thy great soul cravest. I hear thy call ; 
And ever in the silence dear 
I touch in notes divinely clear 
Thy inmost Being, and thou knowest 
The harmony of the Heavenly Host. 



58 



I give my angels fair, to thee, 

To ope Life's grand Eternity. 

To bathe thee in the Power Divine 

That thou mayest do this will of mine. 

That thou mayst free thine own pure soul 

And grasp the universal whole. 

That thou mayst soar on wings of Love 

And to the world may ably prove 

Thy Oneness with Infinity; 

Thy knowledge of Eternity. 

Thy power to speak the word that frees 

The erring ones on land, on seas, 

To bring them to the Truth Divine. 

The living in this Will of mine. 

I am the Power, the Life, the Way. 
Thou art in Me. Then, never stray 
In paths of doubt, obscure, untrue. 
Cast out the old. Let in the new. 
Breathe in the Omnipresence sweet. 
Thou art redeemed. Stand on thy feet. 
While through thy Being thus I bring 
The freedom that a soul doth sing. 
As bounding forth on wings of Love, 
It merges into realms above. 
And looking out, it views the Whole 
As One Grand Presence, One Great Soul; 
One boundless Vast, Infinity, 
Embracing all Eternity.

Under the grand old pines at Shasta Springs, in the 
fall of Nineteen Hundred and Five, my husband, a dear 
friend and myself, while enjoying the silence of this 
lovely spot one bright afternoon, received word for word 

the following message from my brother C , who 

passed into the spirit world some years since. This 
message came in answer to questions we were discuss- 
ing. He said— ''Soul to soul, linked together by the 
breath of the Master, traveling in the space of Eternity, 
drinking in the spiritual revelation of the Father, glid- 
ing into Greater Life. We must walk step by step in the 
precepts of the Father; then shall we join the hands of 
love, going on, forever and ever, into the brightness and 
glory of the SUPREME ONE. 

''I am with you— waiting, waiting. All else save 
soul-communion and living the Christ-life is as nothing. 
Tlie past is nothing. I am ever near, and although it is 
not given me to speak at all times, I watch and wait. 

' ' This is a beautiful spot, favorable to the children of 
God; yet how many look out upon its rare beauties and 
fail to understand. How blessed it is that You compre- 
hend the wonders of His hand-i-work. All thoughts go 
into the Eternal. Nothing is lost. The higher your soul 
ascends, the more Christ-like the messages you receive. 
The purer the thought, the greater the gift. 

"Look up, dear ones. One of your number, A , 

is a great soul. His wisdom is of the Father. He was 
the God-given son. 

60 




"A beautiful spot, favorable to the children of God." 



^ ' When we seek such beautiful places as this for soul 
communion, there is a fuller spirituality. We are nearer 
God, the Father, the Fountain-head of Life. Oh, to drink 
therefrom is beautiful, glorious beyond the conception of 
earth. 

"When the Little One comes (meaning my friend who 
was with me) the doors will be thrown wide open into the 
visions of Christ. We are waiting, waiting to touch the 
Spirit hand. Ever do we call her higher and higher. 
Come into the Christ Consciousness. Live, breathe, 
drink, spring into the highest. You will see wonderful 
manifestations of the Divine on earth. One, meaning my 
friend, is a little nearer the shore. She has always been 
a developed soul, although not conscious of it. She has 
been led into the Light and Love of the Father. Always 
individualized in Him since the time of Christ. You 
would ask— 'Why has she not been conscious of it!' I 
answer, Why have we all lived a dead life in the earth 
life, never to awaken until the Father's light shines in 
upon our darkened visions, and we behold our ONENESS 
with HIM. I only know I am waiting. I would call the 
Little One, but the Father says— 'Nay, Nay. She has 
much work to do for my People on earth. ' 

' ' Such hours as these bring us closer, closer. Oh, the 
vast Space of Eternity! Endless reign of the Father! 
Beautiful! Glorious! Inexpressible! Only waiting for 
that grand re-union when we shall understand the mis- 
takes of life as nothing. The Great and Glorious Eter- 
nity is for us. The longing heart-cry and desire is at last 
answered. Come up higher, higher. All, All is glorious. 
Adieu, dear ones."

The twilight falls, soft stealing through my room, 

While shadows nestle here and there. 
Playing at Hide and Seek about m;^ chair. 

In sweetest silent mood, I fondly dream 
And Aye, percliance, do meditate at length 

On greater worlds than this can seem 
To be. For years IVe longed for higher notes and 

deeper tones; 
Have yearned to keep from lesser and material things 
To dwell on heights before un-dreamed of and unknown ; 
And now, as in the twilight, divinely calm and "dear. 

List I, and wait ; direct, I hear 
A voice as sweet and resonant of love as an aeolian harp, 
Call out, ^ ^ Star of my star, heart of my heart, 

IVe waited long for thee. 
Walked by thee through the shadows dim 

Of earth's cold life. 
IVe guided and IVe guarded thee, 
Have kept thee from all strife. 



Thou art as fair as God's pure lilies are. 

Thy diadem is as gleaming stars 
In Christ's own crown, and handed down 
To thee from realms of Immortality. 

Thou art, soul of my soul, 
A treasure likened unto heaven's own; 
Christ's beacon-light to guide earth's erring ones 

62 



Into the greater realms above, 
For thou art Love. 

I touch thee, bright earth flower thou art, 
And find thee mirrored in my heart. 

Gazing into thine eyes of blue. 

Behold myself, divinely true. 
Thou art a soul by heaven glorified 
Fair goddess of my Life, My spirit bride. 
In God we blend, and going forth in Him 
The Golden Gates ope wide that we may journey in. 

All mazes of earth-life are past 
The Christ ^s illumined glory 'round us cast. 
As one, we mingle in the Love Divine 
Chanting the Father's praise through endless time.

In ^eDitation 

Witliin me eternally flows the fountain of immortal 
youth ; Within dawns the awal^ening power to show forth 
to all mankind the Infinite Life, that which is the Life 
of All. 

Within is the secret spring which unlocks the door, 
revealing untold treasures of knowledge, purity and 
power, even unto the life of every opening bud and blos- 
som. 

The Poet chants his glorious lay of love within my 
soul. The peace and harmony of the Universe breathes 
through me its sweet calm. The singing birds carol forth 
the Infinite Life in me. The laughing child is but an 
echo, giving back to me my own. Within me lie the 
peaceful valleys besprinkled with tiny blossoms, the rock 
ribbed mountains of majestic splendor, the sweet peace 
and calm of Nature. 

Within me glows the summer sun, and falls the cool- 
ing fleecy mantle of purity and whiteness of winter; not 
chilling and drear, but full of earnest protection that my 
soul may open up in full glory in the spring-tide of its 
awakening.

It is wonderful how our lives round out to the per- 
fect in all things when we perceive the ALLNESS of 
INFINITE LOVE, And our existence in that Love. A 
realization of Peace and Happiness before unknown, 
opens up to us as we advance in the understanding of 
this Creative Principle of Love which is Universal. It 
gives us beautiful and realistic views of the power and 
dominion we may attain to, and urges us to ^^ arise and 
let our light shine ^^ that others may be enabled to come 
into their rightful heirship. 

It is not hard to close our minds against old beliefs 
in a ''God of vengeance'' and accept the God of Love, 
for in accepting this belief which we should do through 
the understanding of the Principle as an eternally exist- 
ing presence, it is impossible to have aught within save 
the consciousness of the ' ' Kingdom of God and His right- 
eousness. ' ' 

''To love God supremely, and our neighbor as our- 
selves'' is to be able to say with the blessed Master, when 
seeming persecutions arise— "Father, forgive them, for 
they know not what they do," continually insisting that 
we look upon our would-be persecutors with love and an 
earnest desire to lift them into their rightful inheritance. 
This is Love, that which will mellow and dissolve all 
hardness and bitterness of those who live in non-recog- 
nition of the Good. 

66 



It will draw mankind to their true and only Source. 
The Great Heart that throbs throughout the universal 
whole is LOVE. A Love that knows neither hatred, mal- 
ice, wrong or envy. Its whisperings are constantly — 
*^ Father, forgive them. They know not what they do.^^ 
It breathes only of good in all things— speaks only of 
progression, of an advance into the more glorious under- 
standing of the Divine. This understanding causes us to 
look through eyes of Love, beyond a select circle of 
friends whom it is easy to love, on all our fellowmen, 
makes us long to give to every hungering soul the knowl- 
edge we have of spiritual law that overcomes all claims 
of sin, sickness and death, ^'the last enemy to be over- 



come.'^ 



Christ came to teach us power and dominion over 
ignorance and ill, of our rightful heritage to- Peace, Joy, 
Happiness, Plenty, Harmony and Love. The under- 
standing of which gives us the power to live in the full- 
ness of the Universal Plenty, in perfect Health and Har- 
mony, in Heaven, Here and Now. 

Our lives will round out to the circle of God's ALL- 
NESS in the knowledge of this Truth. We must give 
forth Love, and we shall receive of Love. Give happi- 
ness, and we shall be Happy. Accept of our God-given 
dominion and power, and pour forth thoughts of love 
and health and we will realize health for ourselves. Ask 
not wisdom of Man, but of GOD, and ^^Ask, believing 
that ye have received. ' ' 

When unjustly accused, softly breathe from a soul 
of Love— ''Father, forgive." And Love will be to us as 
a sweet enveloping thought in which we shall abide with 
Christ in God, resting in his Pure Love. 



Under any and all circumstances, let us accept that 
which belongs to our spiritual estate. In the words of 
Emerson, ^^Let us take our bloated nothingness out of 
the path of the Divine Circuit. Let us unlearn the wis- 
dom of the world. Let us lie low in the Lord^s Power 
and learn that Truth alone makes rich and great. *^ 

Let Love nourish us and un-lock new magazines of 
Power, of understanding that Love is Omnipresent. Ee- 
fusing to deny its existence because manifesting unto 
others in different forms from that which appeals to us. 
Any who heal in Christ 's name, in the name of Love, are 
of a truth working in ONENESS with the Great Prin- 
ciple of Love. 

Let us open our spiritual eyes and behold Love, in 
the peaceful beauty of all Creation.

I love the trunk of that darling old tree. 

To be sure its defects are plain to see. 

It is rough and bruised, bearing the mark 

Of carvings of years upon its bark. 

But, somehow, it wears in a Kingly way. 

Such a wealth of green, in graceful sway 

In the soft summer winds, all aglint with the sun. 

So tenderly shelters its birds, one by one, 

As they cosily nest in its great arms so true. 

And carol their love to high heaven's blue. 

They weave sweetest melodies in their wee home, 

Teach the dear nestlings to try all alone 

The power of their wings, in branches of green 

Of this King of the forest, that really seems 

So' royally proud to be anchored in sod 

Of old Mother Earth; arms extending to God. 

Ever proud to remember the sweet long ago 

When, 'neath its branches, soft whispering low 

Lovers strayed, e'en as now. Their secrets all true, 

This dear old tree garnered. Full well he knew 

The happiest moments of summering love 

Are all too soon vanished. How grandly he proves 

Though battered and worn, he still feels no pain. 

But stands calm and serene through sunshine and rain. 

And silently, proudly, absorbs from the Good, 
Such deific power, that it is food 

69 



For rhythm of love, as I clasp in my arms 
Its nigged old trunk; knowing no harm 
Can touch me while lingering near 
Such a grand old defender. 
Ah! close to my ear 
A voice from the silence! How the wind breathes 
Through the soft, gently swaying, branches and leaves; 
As plainly I hear these words whispered low, 
^^Dear heart, come up higher; 

How well thou dost know.'* 



My soul melts into the Great Oversoul, into the Heart 
of the Infinite; ^^I am one with the Father." On this 
basis, I meet and commune with the illumined, both in 
the seen and the unseen. On this ground I have all Wis- 
dom, and behold all things in perfection; hearing all glo- 
rious Truths, and am, consciously, one with the Eternal 
Beauty, Harmony, and Peace, of the Universe.

The many wonderful, and what some would call 
miraculous demonstrations, which are taking place daily 
and hourly among the advanced thinkers and workers 
along metaphysical and higher thought lines of to-day, 
prove— without cavil or doubt— the efficacy of the Truth, 
as taught by Jesus Christ. It certainly applies now to 
any and all conditions, as it did in the days when He 
walked the earth among the children of men. 

eTesus always worked in the light of the Spirit, never 
recognizing any other presence, never acknowledging 
darkness and ignorance as having any power whatever. 
His promise was: ^^The things I do, ye may do also, 
and even greater.'' But how? ^^If ye abide in me,'' in 
the Christ, the TWith Consciousness. In this abiding 
state, I find there is a dawning within my soul that far 
transcends the brightest sunrise that ever broke on 
Mountain top and emerald green of Mother Earth. 

The grand illumination of sky, refreshing odor of 
field and flowers, mingled with the cool invigorating 
breeze, the melody of bird-notes, as they burst forth in 
glad song of praise, on some rare morning in June, is as 
faintest odor of fragrant flowers in comparison with the 
greater, more sublimely grand, dawn of heaven within my 
inmost being. The earth seems taken up intO' a different 
atmosphere ; the inhabitants thereof, whether of a high or 
low state of unfoldment, show forth to my earnest seek- 
ing, only the Divine. 

71 



The untrue, the false of each and every one, is as 
vapory mist, which one ray of love-light from the God 
center within any soul, knowing its ONENESS with the 
Infinite, may instantly dispel. The mountains of crime 
and ignorance disappear, as written above them in flam- 
ing words of love, I behold— ''Father, forgive them. 
They know not what they do. ' ' All sickness, sorrow and 
belief in death vanish, as in tenderness and faith, I read 
in the clear sky of this beautiful dawn, "It is the spirit 
that quickeneth. The flesh profiteth nothing; the words 
that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are Life. ' ' 
Again— ''I come that ye might have life, and have it 
more abundantly." All envy, hatred and jealousy melt 
away and lo! one great unending chain of faith and love 
appears as over such seeming conditions, I see plainly 
written, ''God is Love." All apartness one from an- 
other dissolves in the warmth and fervor of the words 
written in purest gold, "My Father and Your Father; 
My God and Your God. ' ' 

All lust and sensuality fade and fall from sight, and 
in their stead I see— "Blessed are the pure in heart, for 
they shall see God. ^ ' All care and anxiety are obliterated 
in this illumination, and I behold the blessed promise, 
applicable to the here and now, "He shall wipe &way 
all tears." 

Bigotry and self-adulation pale before the words, 
"I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in 
me. He doeth the works." 

Condemnation of either neighbor or self is annihi- 
lated with "Judge not, that ye be not judged;" again, 
"Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more." All 

72 



fear and trembling are brushed away with the command, 
*^Fear not.'' 

Why have not we in all these ages past been growing 
more and more into this oneness of the Universal Whole; 
this oneness with the Father that Jesus taught, that por- 
trays SO' much of peace and power; such a glorious dawn- 
ing to, and within, the soul of everyone. 

It is now time to question the soul, time to let the 
light of the Spirit illumine the within. Ask yourself— 
Where do I stand in this rapturous dawn? Let the an- 
swer be— In the very heart of it. Each and every one a 
perfect center, as was, and is, Jesus Christ, our Great 
Teacher. 

A new dawn is breaking. Let each view its glories. 
It is not for a chosen few, as has been the thought for so 
long a period of time, but it is for all. 

This Allness in Oneness will show forth the intense 
beauty, the never changing glory of the new dawn, in 
which you and I are standing, if we but will. None can 
ever tell another of this infinite realm of peace and power 
that opens up within the soul, until they, too, have con- 
sciously put themselves in harmony with the Father, the 
Infinite. Nothing so intensifies the sublimity and the 
awakening within the Soul as claiming and knowing, as 
did our elder Brother, our oneness with the Universal 
Harmony. Our complete abandonment to the One Spirit 
which is all and in all. The new dawn means to each 
soul awakened, ^^a new heaven and a new earth, for be- 
hold! old things have passed away, and all things have 
become new, ' ' and limitless power is established unto us. 
The earth is taken up into the radiance of His counte- 
nance, into the Light of the Spirit. 

73 



Gentle, quiet, peaceful conditions of mind, ever real- 
izing that the breath of God is quickening and holding in 
perfect rhythmic vibrations the entire being, without 
struggle or effort, trusting, loving, believing and never 
swerving from the gentle touch of the One Power, the 
Father, will melt away every negative and untrue con- 
dition; no matter how aggressive it may seem. This is 
the abiding Christ consciousness that we must all unfold 
to, before we can come into this illumination. When we 
are poised in this state of child-like trust and faith, we 
may *^ask whatsoever we will, and it shall be done unto 



us/' 



Infinite power comes through this open channel, and 
the eager straining for results, and the wondering 
^* whys'' are lost sight of; the Spirit of Light brings out 
the true manifestor of freedom and peace. 

**If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every 
one that doeth righteousness is born of Him." So shall 
we be known, and so shall we revel in the illumination 
of the Spirit. We must ask in faith, knowing that we 
have received ; in other words, the God power, the Spirit- 
ual, is all that we really are, and a recognition of body, 
soul and spirit, as one, will do the work and will let in the 
flood-tides of light. 

This sort of receptivity is not holding out empty 
hands that they may be filled. It is a recognition of that 
Divine Substance which is above, below, within and with- 
out. And such an acknowledgement of the ever present 
power, puts the seeker in perfect harmony and perfect 
co-operation with the Divine; while a never-varying real- 

74 



ization, makes it possible to do the things which the 
Christ did while on earth. Let every soul recognize the 
fact that there is the possibility of becoming so at one 
with this Wisdom, this Divine All, that the illumination 
which fills the seeking soul may so flood all the avenues 
of life, not only from one stand-point, but from all, that 
the entire being may radiate an absolute light that will 
positively shine out through the face, and the entire 
body, permeating the daily surroundings, emanating an 
aura of such wonderful glow that every one will perceive 
it. The more dense will exclaim— "I always love to be 
with such an one because of his good cheer. ' ' Another will 
say, ^^Such an one inspires great confidence. I am sure 
I can trust him,'^ and so on; while a more developed 
soul will exclaim from the depths of his being, ''Behold 
the beloved of the Lord! A glorious soul. One in tune 
with the Infinite and radiating the light thereof!'' And 
this one, so filled with illumination, is unconsciously 
sending out rays of spiritual light that are vibrating 
throughout the Universe; Even as Christ said, ''I am 
the light of the world.'' So may this illumined soul 
know, I am the light of the world. This light that per- 
meates the bodily consciousness is far-reaching, search- 
ing out every tiny cell and atom, shining with accurate 
and effulgent God-illumination, so powerful and pure 
that health is established in the bodily consciousness; 
whereas, before opening the self to this Divine Light, 
the body may have been submerged in darkness and 
gloom, and out-picturing as illness and disease in many 
ways. 

These false conditions can not stand when the mind 
opens itself to the Divine Light, which only awaits rec- 

75 



ognition from the individual, with a willingness and de- 
sire to co-operate with It. 

The Father never takes an aggressive stand with his 
Children, hut is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omnis- 
cient. The seeker may, if he chooses, accept of the rich 
legacy, the charming fullness of all that is good and 
beautiful, pure and true, with all power in heaven and 
earth added. He may walk in the light of the Spirit, in 
the seen and in the unseen. He may never know dark- 
ness, by day or by night ; and this may be taken literally, 
and practically put in use whenever and wherever need- 
ed, provided the recipient of the Father's bounty be 
true to the Highest he knows, and is seeking earnestly 
and continuously. There is no stagnation in the eternal 
on-going. There is a constant flowing stream of light, 
direct from the Fountain Head, the Father, the indwell- 
ing One, working in and through every soul that wills 
to' let it be so. Sooner or later, every soul will so desire 
and decree, as there is no hiding from this ever-searching 
light of Divine Love and Intelligence which radiates 
throughout the Universe. It only rests with the individ- 
ual to say when and where the unfoldment shall come to 
him or her. 

There is only one true way of reaching this illumina- 
tion. That is through following the teachings of Jesus. 

Enter through the door of Love, UNIVERSAL 
LOVE. This great and all-absorbing love creates a life 
of cheer and brightness, of brilliant, glowing, lights, that 
set themselves in the firmament of the seekers, like faith- 
ful sentinels, pointing out the true path leading to the 
desired Goal. 

76 



Higher and Higher, 0, my soul, until the Master's 
knowledge of Tmth, His concept of Love, be thine. 

Peace, Peace, O, my soul, until the melodies of 
Heaven, the music of the spheres shall play upon thy 
harp-strings. Be thou so deep and wide in the Father 
that thou shalt fill endless space with the magnitude of 
thy Love. 

Shine forth, O, my soul, an eternal sun of Grod ; pene- 
trating the gloom of untruth. Naught shall bedim thy 
radiance. Naught can stand in the shadow, where thou 
dost choose to shine. Thou mayst drink deep, deep from 
the Fountain of Life, for thy Father willeth it so.

9n appeal jFrom tfte TSoDp 

Our physical organisms look to us for love and 
appreciation; and what do they receive? Do we say to 
them as we would to a child who is eagerly craving our 
approval: "You are progressing wonderfully. You are 
simply perfect. Great talent and power is now yours. 
Already I see the world at your feet ; All must recognize 
your superiority;'' and so, on and on, until the child 
is looked upon by all as something far beyond the fond- 
est hopes of the most sanguine parent mind. 

Art, wisdom, power and beauty is thus unfolded and 
externalized, and the world is blessed thereby, the child 
becoming a power to move thousands into a higher con- 
ception of the beautiful and the true. Thus should we 
praise, love and unfold perfection in our bodies. 

On the other hand, how quickly you can crush soul 
growth by closing the channels with condemnation. Note 
the stunted life, the dwarfed expression of this child. 
So it is with our bodies. If we arise in the morning with 
thoughts and words of condemnation in our hearts, on 
our lips for these beautiful bodies that God has given us 
to be fit tabernacles for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, 
is it any wonder that the channels close, and ills, pains 
and distortion manifest. For, have not we, who function 
the mind, so condemned them to be? We have turned 
the power against their true manifestation. Every cell 
and every atom looks with eyes of consciousness into our 

82 



very heart of hearts, for appreciation and love; and we 
should send home to these life-centers, thoughts and 
words of truth and praise, thus satisfying these hungry 
calls for righteous judgment. 

To the friendly inquiry, ''How are you feeling this 
morning"? We should never claim illness in any form. 
Such crushing condemnation forces the tiny work-shops 
to close their doors, and shrink from even a trial to per- 
form their duties. For, right here, is not the master mind 
abusing the tiny cells of consciousness, so longing to be 
loved and appreciated; to be upheld, or even allowed 
freedom to do its own beautiful work? Just think how 
we dominate and control these cells, these atoms, by the 
power of our minds, our words, which should every one 
of them, be likened unto the Christ's, being words of 
Spirit and Life. How tenderly and lovingly we should 
deal with these beautiful God-given tabernacles, which 
are but pure spirit, being the creation of Spirit. 

Then let love and appreciation feed and nourish and 
upbuild, that the body may be glorified with the Spirit. 
Thus all the power of Christ, the Truth, in heaven and 
on earth, may be used by. the children of Infinite Life as 
is intended to be demonstrated by the teachings of Jesus, 
who was, and is, ''the Way, the Truth and the Life.''

Your spiritual perception of my soul, my true self,

We know that in the nnfathomahle and un-explored 
depths of the ocean, lie treasures of untold wealth, and 
to the un-inquiring, the un-interested seeker, these glories 
will ever remain un-discovered. 

While to the seeking one, the very sea will give up 
its richest treasures. So we, if we search, probe to the 
heart of the Infinite in our seeking, shall unfold wondrous 
truths. Whereas, if we be ever content to play back and 
forth on the shores of time, like children, we shall only 
gather the more trivial things that are washed to our 
feet ; cast up by the ebb and flow of the tide. The greater 
truths, the richer treasures, demand more concentrated 
effort and thought, more constant seeking. 



I am as timeless as Eternity, as boundless as Infinite 
Space, as tireless as Eternal Energy, and as limitless as 
Spirit is limitless.

Every cell of my being is now absorbing the infinite 
revelations of the Universal Harmony. This Life-exalt- 
ing stream flowing through the avenues of my being, 
floods me with new life, thrilling every fibre into newness 
and perfection of activity. 

Thus, while reveling and bathing in this flood of Om- 
nipresence, the very air about me seems permeated with 
a Divine undertone of melody, the import of which voices 
the command, ^' Yield! Yield thee to the spirit!'' 



Forgive me, Soul of Man, that I have ever spoken 
one word or radiated one thought that has ever been det- 
rimental in any way to the unfoldment of the Highest 
for every being in the Universe. 



The great Harmonious Activity of the Universe is 
the established law of my mentality, my body, my being.

ing law of the Universe ; hence Intelligent Power is Eter- 
nally Present.

Cftp JFaitJ) ^atft Q^aDe Cfiee Wlbolt 

One beautiful September night, in the year Nineteen 
Hundred and Two, on retiring, I meditated that ' ' during 
the quiet hours of the night there shall be revealed to 
me a greater understanding of spiritual law, a knowledge 
coming direct from the depths of the Universal Intelli- 
gence. I fearlessly claim my oneness with the Father, 
and expectantly await the revelations therefrom/' I 
sank into sweet sleep from which I was awakened about 
four o'clock by a slight commotion on the street. 

Throwing myself back on the pillow, inbreathing, 
^^I am the temple of the living God,'' out breathing, 
"The spirit of God dwelleth in me," I found myself in 
a foreign country among people speaking the Spanish 
tongue. The scenery under the tones of indwelling light 
which radiated in and through all, was exquisitely 
beautiful and impressive. 

In the distance, purple mountains fringed the hori- 
zon. The nearer country was rolling, broken by ravines, 
dancing waters and woodlands which skirted picturesque 
fields, dotted here and there with fairy-like homes, and 
countless flowers in bloom. At my feet lay a field of 
grain-stubble, golden in color, and like velvet to tread 
upon. 

Two women accompanied me, one of whom I in- 
stantly recognized as an old friend; the other, dark, and 
of strictly Spanish type, although thoroughly conversant 
with the English language. 

90 



For some distance we walked over this wonderful 
carpet of gold, spread by the invisible hand of the Al- 
mighty, admiring its loveliness. Suddenly a turn over 
the brow of a hill brought us upon a field of waving green 
of unusual beauty. Asking of our guide, for such she 
seemed to be, what was the nature of this strangely at- 
tractive growth, the reply was "This plant is peculiarly 
adapted to this climate. Those who revel in this wealth 
of waving green, with its strange, yet beautifully formed 
leaves, kissing and caressing the rare soft petals of the 
snow-white blossoms, springing therefrom, unfold like 
magic in spiritual power. ' ' 

Immediately we sank down in the cool bed of green, 
with its snowy blossoms and rare fragrance. Our guide 
continued ''And from within their own souls create that 
which they have need of provided they will use the gifts 
given them. Some create that which unfolds into more 
abundant life. Others create unto themselves Infinite 
Love, so that they arise from this land resplendent with 
light. All depends upon the sincerity in which they ac- 
cept of the gift and follow in the lead of the still small 
voice which guides. '^ 

As she ceased speaking there formed on the tip of 
my tongue, something that tasted like the sweetest and 
rarest of spices. I took from my lips three tiny wafers, 
looking inquiringly at the guide. Smilingly she said, 
' ' You are favored beyond many who rest in this glorious 
land. If you would be illumined beyond your fondest 
hopes, if you would know of Love Divine in which all 
fear is lost and all love is raised to the standard of, and 
merged in the Ohrist-love, eat of those wafers that are 
the creation of your own soul 's desire, and evermore you 

91 



will know illumination that shall spiritualize to your 
consciousness all that which you now look upon as ma- 
teriality. The New Kingdom will consciously become es- 
tablished within. Old conditions and beliefs will pass 
away. Those are the wafers of Infinite Love, the rarest 
gift of God to man. ' ^ 

Eagerly I laid them on my tongue, and as they 
slowly dissolved, gave myself up to the rapidly all-ab- 
sorbing Spirit of Peace. A delicious sensation of buoy- 
ancy consumed all bodily consciousness. Harmony 
reigned supreme. Gently, rapidly, I was borne upward. 
Glancing back at my companions, they looked like tiny 
specks in the bed of green. I floated either in the heights 
of heaven 's blue, or near to earth as desired ; caressingly 
touching the uppermost branches of the tree-tops, again 
levitating myself until earth looked a miniature landscape 
below. 

Drifting near earth, I chanced upon a home as beau- 
tiful as a dream, nestled amid the pines on the mountain 
side. Eagerly I sought to glimpse its occupants. My 
pleasure knew no bounds at the sight of an old friend 
who sought with her most persuasive powers to dis- 
suade me from my journey. I hastened to assure her 
that I had frequently taken these flights; always return- 
ing safely, and passed on. However, I bethought myself 
hereafter to keep a safe distance from earth magnets. 

On and on, higher and higher, I floated, the most 
delicious sensation of safety, fearlessness and freedom 
pervading my being. Glimpsing mountain tops, valleys 
reveling in splendor, tossing rivers and spray-like falls, 
all bathed in rays of golden light. 

92 



One exceedingly beautiful valley lay softly nestled 
among the mountains, trickling down whose ravines, and 
through its depths of green, crept a tiny glowing stream 
of clear water. Over this scene shone a large circle of 
brilliant lights, growing continually brighter. 

Eagerly I sought the import of this circle of light 
so graciously shedding its rays on the peaceful scene be- 
low. The still small voice whispered ^'Thus doth the 
Father lighten the valleys of earth-life for those of his 
children who seek to know the Truth. Onward ! thy path 
lays before thee. ' ' 

I obeyed the command, only to find myself moving 
out over a vast expanse of water. For an instant a flash 
of fear crept over me and immediately I found myself 
rapidly descending. I cried aloud, ^'I am fearless. In- 
finite Love enfolds me", and mounting higher in this 
realm of thought, boldly floated out over the deep blue, 
leaving in the distance an enchanting little city on the 
water's edge, surrounded by lovely forests and entranc- 
ing fields of bloom. 

The waters were calm and deeply blue. A sense of 
supreme joy filled my consciousness. Presently I sighted 
a beautiful island. Stately it arose in abrupt mountain 
peaks from out the dark blue bed of water. 

I asked myself '^What if this spirit power carries me 
out over mid-ocean, away from all habitations of man, 
and no opportunity of touching land!" With a tremor 
of fear I longingly glanced at the heights of the island, 
and again oceanward. The still small voice whispered, 
* ' Upward and onward. Have faith. ' ' Fearlessly I turned 
from this little haven of rest on earth, and mounting 

93 



higher, was borne out for miles and miles over this seem- 
ingly limitless body of water; now growing turbulent and 
grand as it was swept into a fury by a strong wind; the 
white-caps lashed into a foam of resplendent beauty 
against the dark blue background. 

Fearlessly on and on I moved I knew not whither, 
guided by an unseen power that met with no opposition 
from my will. I was consciously at one with the Infinite 
Love which proved my safe-guard against all conditions. 

Finally the wind veered, blowing against me, beating 
me from side* to side. I drew from my robe a silken sail 
and unfurled it to help in my endeavors to go, as the 
spirit directed. Instantly the still small voice whispered, 
^'Sail easily with the breeze into a haven of safety. 
Struggle not. Thou hast been tempted and tried. Thy 
faith hath made thee whole," and turning about I was 
borne peacefully and safely to shore, and tenderly placed 
on terra firma, amid flowers of exquisite loveliness and 
fragrance, only to hear again— ^^ Thy Faith hath made 
thee whole. '^

I am Universal Love. I am Universal Life. I am 
Infinite Wisdom. The Universe is my abiding place. I 
nestle in the very heart of ALL LIFE. 



I need not seek hither and yon for love, for life or 
resting place, if I will bnt accept the throne that is of- 
fered me in the very heart of All Life. How glorious are 
the appeals of all life to the God life, throbbing within 
my inmost being. How the perfume of the rose en- 
trances ! The rustling of the leaves in the soft wind en- 
chants and lulls me to peace and rest. What a thrill of 
delight electrifies me as I hear in distinct tones the voices 
of loved ones, both in the seen and the unseen, speaking 
their blessed words of love and re-assurance. 

Especially does the God within respond to the voices 
from the spirit world, coming from those we have always 
thought of as dwelling in far distant realms, only attain- 
able after the change called death. This realm we may 
reach here and now, through the power of love and purity 
of thought and purpose. 

The spirit of Love controls all: and all power is 
given us as we awaken to this knowledge.

Co H— 

Wrought I in words, but half the heavenly wonders 

Of thy soul, so plainly visible to me; 

I could foretell such dreams of loveliness. 

Thy heart would shrink in fear that I might wandering be 

From paths of truth. Thou dost foresee 

The shadowing of the spirit-realm 

And feel thy hand in mine. 

As on we press to scenes of loveliness. 

Could I but speak thee, ' ' turn about 

And look within, where gleaming lights of heaven do 

shine. 
Where roses bloom eternal, and their fragrance sweet 
Is. but thy breath divine; '^ 
Thou^dst stand in blank amazement, dear, 
And soft exclaim— ''Not here! not here! 
But in another thou mayst find 
These radiant lights, the scenes sublime." 

But I must tell it thee 

As, since my language is of heaven. 

In heaven's own tongue. Enquiringly, 

I search earth-tablets o'er 

For pages clean and white on which to pour 

Heaven's melodies, the rapt devotion of my soul 

For that I now behold in thee. 

On earth there seemed but one, and thou that one. 

Now see I clearly, as Eternity 

98 



Divulges its sweet secrets, treasures wisely hidden 

In those we love; else would we be forbidden 

To revel in each other's cheer, 

Lest we forget that standing near 

Us in life's pathway, some lone soul 

Sought long for love; 

And we in coldness point him tO' the realms above; 

Forgetting heaven's throne established deep within 

The Universal soul of man. 

As earth's mad din sinks in oblivion 

And the soul doth rise 

And touch exalted heights, thrilled with surprise, 

It looks abroad o'er endless space. 

Then, turning, seeks the loving face 

On earth tO' him most dear. 

Seeing through spirit eyes, he now discerns 

The holy Christed One. Oh, how he yearns 

To open wide the gates of love. 

His being now doth fill. 

To breathe into that other soul, in rippling rills 

Of ecstasy, affection's sacred flame of untold wealth; 

Untouched by earth 's dark shadows, oblivious of self. 

Know thou, loved one, the language of the soul 

Is ne'er expressed in words; 

But flows in waves of harmony like rapturous songs of 

birds. 
And soul melts into soul, like sunbeams from the sun 
Linked in the endless chain of Love; 

The Infinite, Eternal One. 



99 



Arise in the majesty of thine own God-power, and 
assert thyself as free from all influences that would sub- 
merge thy individuality. Let thy soul gleam forth like 
a mighty meteor which flashes athwart the sky, and go 
forth to conquer in God. 

There is no power that can draw thee aside. Thou 
art beyond the touch of those who would hamper thee, 
and through selfish love absorb thee. Feel not impa- 
tience, neither sorrow, but gird on the armour of Truth, 
of fearlessness, and take for thy motto, ^^God is Love 
universal. ' ^ Step out into the arena of wisdom and show 
forth that which thou art, an individualized soul, majes- 
tically poised in God. 

Feel not annoyance at or toward those who would 
hamper thee, through their great self love, but rather 
be thou ruler of the domain within thine own soul. Thou 
canst become so cognizant of thy foundation in Truth 
that thou canst only be seen and touched by those not 
so far advanced as thou, at thine own will; and as did 
Jesus in his great compassion, so wilt thou reach out 
and draw all men up unto thine own God standard. 

Thou mayst ever press upward and onward, so filled 
with Divine Love and Wisdom that thou canst reach 
forth, and with thy great knowledge release those in 
bondage to seeming ills, and bound by self-aggrandize- 
ment. 

100 



Let the rippling streams of life and health and youth 
effervesce and overflow within thee. Condemn not. Re- 
member that All Life is One. Stand on thy feet, with 
this eternal truth flowing through thee, ^' God's will be 
done in me. And there is none other than God's will 
than can move me." 



Take every chance to do a good turn, either for an- 
other or for yourself, and as ^'one good turn deserves 
another, ' ' the golden opportunities of giving forth bless- 
ings will pour in on you. Thus in giving freely, you as 
fully and freely receive. 



101 



In the still hours of the night 

There come to' me such strains of melody, 

Such waves of fancy's flight, 

I needs must write and tell of Love, 

That floating down through ether light. 

Submerges me 

In clouds of white and purity. 

Unfolds to me a something rare, beyond compare. 

Leads me in paths of peace serene. 

Thrills, e'en floods, my soul within 

When lo! the Christ is seen.

Discernment 

There are thousands of mighty minds on earth to- 
day through which the Wisdom of Infinite Intelligence 
is being voiced. Their inspiration is of the Highest. 
Their interpretation of spiritual questions clear, neither 
lacking in truth or reason. 

You ask, ^'How are we to know when we come in 
touch with these great minds f Tlie God within you will 
respond and acknowledge ITS OWN ; no matter by whom 
presented. 

Your own intuition, truth innate as wisdom will 
guide you as to whether or no their teachings mean to 
you the next stepping-stone in your own souPs unfold- 
ment. If they do not appeal to. you, you must needs wait 
until you perceive spiritually the true foundation upon 
which to plant your feet. 



Eegrets make losses in the future.

It is good for thee to be alone, for in thy solitude 
thou canst reach to heights before unattained. Tliou 
canst thwart every incoming thought of ill, and mount 
on eagle-wings into the Grreat Infinity of thy soul 's limit- 
less gTandeur. 

Thou canst find pathways before un-opened to thy 
searching mind and stray at leisure in avenues of shin- 
ing glory and peace, which in their very seclusion seem 
created for thee alone. 

Thou canst behold the undying beauty of Heaven's 
blossoms that bend beneath thy soft tread, only to lift 
their heads in renewed strength and perfection for hav- 
ing contacted thy loving touch. 

Thou mayst hear the warblings of the sweet song- 
sters in thy heart, as happily thou dost unfold in this 
dear solitude thine own creative and Universal Power, 
as the rhythmic breath of Harmony pulsates throughout 
thy consciousness, enfolding all in its sacred depths. The 
Universal spirit, pervading thee, shall cause thee to lose 
sight of the "Mine and thine" of earth life, and thou 
shalt be born anew into Oneness with the Father.

Why such un-rest, Canst thou not see 
That I, thy God, am leading thee? 
Canst thou not measure love so deep 

As mine! And trust, e'en sleep. 
As in mine arms I cradle thee. 

Thou child of Immoi-tality? 
Thy soul doth crave the highest good. 
Demanding ever heavenly food; 
Still must thou trust, and let me lead, 
For I am conscious of thy need. 

Before thou callest, I am come 

To bear thee to thy heavenly home, 

The haven in thy soul. Let love 

All barriers and doubts remove. 
Let roll the burdens off from thee; 
Thou shalt be bathed in Life's gTeat sea 
Of Love Divine; submerging all. 
Have faith. Fear not; there is no call 
That I, thy Life, can fail to hear; 
Thou art mine own, divinely dear; 
And if at times I seem to be 
A distance great apart from thee. 
Know thou, that I am nearer far 

Than thine own heart. Then let the star

In golden sunlight thee enfold.

Heaven's greater Lights, I send to thee, 

Fear not that they have from thee turned;

And know, thou only hast the power 
To cast thy God from Eden's bower. 
Still ever more I watch and wait 
For surely thou wilt ope the gate 

To let me in, for true in time

To take my own; for thou shalt see

It is the birthday of our King. 
Sweet bells of Heaven eternal ring 
The glad new song; and all along 
The pathway of thy life 

These chimes have beckoned thee 
To greater love, to realms where thon mightst see 
The Christ, and join the awakened throng. 



*^I am not more holy than thou.'' God keep me in 
this one great thought toward all mankind. Let the 
sweet beneficent spirit of meekness and humility take 
possession of its own within me; that the inner sanctuary 
of my soul may be as pure as the golden rays of sunlight, 
and as penetrating and life-giving to- all humanity. 

Let me know the great ''I AM", so perfectly from 
within, that what I realize of Wisdom, Light and Truth 
within my own consciousness, I can as clearly and as 
cleanly realize for others who stand beside me in the 
pathway of life. Let the realization of the oneness of 
all life be of such clear concept that I may, by my very 
presence, prove a blessing to all that breathe the breath 
of life. The Christ within who is the very essence of 
humility and tenderness, breathes over all an atmos- 

108 



phere of love, and through all, the life-giving knowledge 
of ONENESS with the Father. Not for Himself and dis- 
ciples alone, but for all; high and low, rich and poor, 
bond and free. 

The knowledge of God indwelling, the Great I AM, 
the true self, knows no high and low, no' rich and poor, 
no bond and free; knows only the great power of Itself, 
equally omnipresent. Knows full well the kingdom of 
untold wealth, latent within each and every heart, only 
awaiting recognition. Patiently awaiting the return of 
the Prodigal son to his Father's home. Never censuring 
or condemning, but holding ever in rich contemplation 
the great truth '^I am that I am, and there is none other 
beside me.'' Knowing that as a child outgrows its toys, 
just so surely each and every soul will mount to the 
knowledge of its own supremacy, and just so surely find 
the Christ within, that whispers softly to its fellowman, 
'^I am not more holy than thou." 



The play of the sunlight on the leaves. 
Is something beyond compare. 

As they softly sway and dance in the breeze 
And glint in the perfumed air.

a Kealnation 

My life is like a placid lake, infinite in depths, as 
soundless as God. Far up in the mountain-heights of 
Christ Consciousness, abides this blessed and limitless 
reservoir of Divine Purity; my life, your life. Unruffled 
by aught save the blossoms and gleaming leaves that fall 
gently on its peaceful bosom, as if in sweetest caress, 
or the flutterings of bright bird-wings, as the cheery 
songsters dip in its shimmering waters of love. So still 
its limpid waters, thereon is reflected the mountain peaks 
and domes, at whose feet, contentedly it rests, reflecting 
within its fathomless depths, the wondrous beauties of 
the Highest; e'en to the blue vaults above, whose spark- 
ling jewels mirror their scintillating lights within its 
bosom. 

All life in its serenity, calmness, power and good. 
All majestic grandeur of forest and sky, reflect their in- 
finite loveliness in this peaceful mirror, My life, the One 
Life. 

This still and peaceful water, deeply and forever 
transparent, hath from within its depths an outlet that 
leads into all the waters of life, mingling and comming- 
ling, until the vast Universe of God, boundless and eter- 
nal, is but the giving and receiving of Being, which is 
Life, the MOST HIGH; which is ALL OF GOD.

a 9ge00age of Lotie 

In the silence with the beautiful thought, ^^ Peace, 
be still, ' ' held firmly in my mind, all around me unfolded 
into a purely spiritual condition. Fleecy clouds floated 
before me. Heavenly scenes were pictured in their bil- 
lowy depths. The perfume of roses filled the atmosphere; 
and soft tones of distant music stole in upon my con- 
sciousness. 

Gradually the clouds parted, and there appeared in 
this opening a beautiful hand; thereon lay a Bible, 
opened as one could plainly see, to the New Testament. 

As if in answer to the inquiry what the chapter 
might be, an audible voice sweetly said, ^ ' The Sermon on 
the Mount." Like a flash, before my eyes, appeared the 
face of my sainted Mother; and as instantly vanished. 
*^ Peace, be still," always her favorite words in hours of 
seeming ill, when manifesting on earth, had called us 
both into the same thought realm, or vibration, and in 
her heart-felt longing to lead me nearer the Christ teach- 
ings, she took this means of citing me anew to this blessed 
message of the Master. 



If I am dependent upon others for appreciation of 
great truths, that being unfolded in my mind, I put forth, 
then am I indeed miserable. If, on the other hand, I am 



111 



so conscious of these mighty truths within my own soul 
that I am, as Emerson says, ^ ' Pledged by it to sweetness 
of Peace, '^ then indeed have I proved my oneness with 
the Great Oversoul, which nourishes me eternally, open- 
ing up to me the Joy of the Kingdom of Harmony In- 
dwelling. 



When you affirm ' ' I am tired. I am weak, ' ' you in- 
vite all the negative and untrue seeming forces abroad in 
the land to make a citadel within you. But when you 
proclaim the mighty Truth, ^'The Lord is in His Holy 
Temple. Let all the earth keep silence,'^ you link your- 
self to the Infinite Force of the Universe, in all calmness, 
strength, peace and wisdom, and naught can molest you. 

The children of earth are their own creators of evil, 
unrest and failure. If you wiU by word of mouth and 
meditation of heart consciously claim your oneness with 
the All Good, and abide therein, you will in perfect peace 
possess your soul, stand at one with your own true self, 
your God, and ever shall you dwell in the green pastures, 
and bathe in the still waters of Life Eternal. 



112 



ISt ©till 

Struggle thou not with wind and tide, 
But calmly trust God^s will 

Knowing where e'er thou art, he guides. 
Christ whispers— ^' Peace be still." 

^^Be still and know that I am God'' 

So speaks the Mighty One 
That rules the Universe in love, 

That claims thee as his own. 

He crowns thee ' ' King, " ' ' Beloved son ; ' ' 
Truth's vast domain is thine. 

For thee are blessings full and free ; 
Thou art filled with light divine. 

God leadeth thee in pleasant ways, 
Bathes thee in floods of peace ; 

Maketh for thee the earth to bloom; 
From ills, doth thee release. 

E'en lights thy pathway to the sky 
That overspreads each day; 

Gives thee the secrets of his life. 
Strews flowers on thy way. 

And what hast thou to do for this 
You ask? So let it be. 



113. 



Do unto others as thou wouldst 
That they should do to thee. 

Love Good Supreme: and all mankind; 

And from within unfold 
The richer, greater, God-made man 

Each day; and ne'er withhold 

The wealth of wisdom given thee, 
But let thy jewels shine; 

Sending their gleaming rays of light 
Through every land and clime. 



114 



a Realisation 

You are a sweet-toned, divinely attuned instrument, 
adjusted to the harmonies of heaven whose breezes softly 
play throughout your being, giving forth the most 
melodious strains of music. Harmonies of Peace and 
Divine Love radiate eternally in the heavenly ether that 
enfolds you, vibrating in sweetest cadences. Each note 
of truth and love gathering power to entrance as it 
reverberates throughout the endless aeons of eternity. 
You breathe out over mankind that which vitalizes with 
newness of purpose and perfection of life and health. 
You are linked in the endless chain of love, of which 
Christ is the power. 



Activity of the soul: deep, aye sweet unrest; Wis- 
dom the incentive. Love the tribunal. Heaven the goal; 
Here and Now the place and time. 



Sweet Mother: As the curtains of night fall around 
me, and the calm of a soul at rest in the Most High 
sweeps over me, my heart reaches out in heaven's best 
love to you. Only the Infinite can fathom the height 
and depth of a Mother's love.

3Ie0U0 Cl)ti0t anitiet0al 

As you gaze with adoration into the depths of the 
infinite beauty and sweetness of a freshly plucked rose, 
and inhale its delicious fragrance, your heart welling 
with love for this beautiful blossom, you are— uncon- 
sciously to yourself, perhaps— giving out equally to 
every flower of its kind, and to the entire family of 
bloom, the same adoration, love and appreciation, 
thereby giving each an individual touch from your soul. 
Thus you can see how Jesus Christ is universal, how his 
personal love and attention to the least of God's chil- 
dren, is not for that one alone, but is a personal bene- 
diction, a baptism of love and truth to every soul in the 
Universe who is open to receive these blessings. 

So may the universe of souls receive at the same 
moment if they but will, the Christ message of love. 

The spirit of Love is universal. So Jesus himself 
is universal, and may speak to millions of souls at the 
same moment. This consideration of the all loving pres- 
ence of the Master makes it easy of comprehension to 
the most simple minded, some of whom can not fathom 
the universality of Jesus Christ. 



There are no yesterdays, and no to-morrow. 
Neither are there of griefs thy soul can borrow. 



116 



Thy God is all there is; Transcendent Holiness! 
He crowneth all thy days in dreams of bliss. 
The everlasting now is thy abundant measure 
Of verities eternal. Canst thou not count thy treasure 
As far beyond the greatest sweep of intellect? 
And awaken in the heart of God I 

There, let thy soul reflect? 



Breast thou the wave of discontent. Ride bravely 
over the breakers and command thou the tumultuous 
undercurrent of thought, and be thou Master. 



Whether to laugh and be glad, 

Or cry and be sad, 

Is the question my soul longs to know. 

For the song of the pines, 

In the soft rustling winds, 

In both strains, through my being doth flow. 



The Temple is the soul; the lights in the temple are 
the thoughts. The radiation from these lights is the 
carrying of the Christ message into all the world. 



117 



The God within biddeth me to stand erect, as master 
of the whole, biddeth me to look aloft with eyes of Faith, 
bom of knowledge, and thus behold that first of all, and 
last of all, LOVE is the radiant One that must needs 
rule the boundless Universe; for GOD is LOVE and 
LOVE is GOD. 



Linger thou in winding paths of light, subdued in 
tones, where softest tints mingle in love, and listen 
closely for the words of wisdom and purity that shall 
surely fall on thine inner ear.

Being, is being individualized in God.

Windows blurred with spot and speck, 
What is all that to thee. 
Dear Heart, 
It meaneth naught to thee. 

Is it worth a groan, a sigh? 
Doth it grieve thy soul that's free. 
To behold these trivial ills! 
What is all this to thee. 

Dear Heart, 
Life holdeth much for thee. 

Gently put it all aside. 
Do what e'er you can, and flee 
The ills and strife, the fears of life. 
Let such things not claim thee. 

Dear Heart, 
Cast error far from thee. 

Fear is untrue, unworthy one 
So grand, of such infinity. 
Let gO' thy hold on earthly cares, 
And only goodness see. 

Dear Heart, 
This more becometh thee. 



119 



The dust and soil of earthly life 
Look through. Let Love, the key, 
Unlock the greater realms within; 
Christ saith—'^ Follow thou me,'^ 

Dear Heart, 
^^ Arise and follow me." 

So great is life, sO' grand is truth. 
E'er sweeping on invisibly 
This mighty current of God-love 
It full enfoldeth thee. 

Dear Heart, 
It full enfoldeth thee. 

The precious jewel that thou art 
Is more than pearl of Sea; 
It is as if a diamond pure 
Flashed out from God to thee, 

Dear Heart, 
And streamed its light through thee, 

To bless the race of weary ones 

So longing to be free; 

Hungering for knowledge, great and deep. 

They may be fed through thee. 

Dear Heart, 
They may receive through thee. 

Open thine eyes. Take clearer view 

Of Heavenly things that be. 

Let thou God's sunshine flood thy soul 



120 



Be noble, fearless, free, 

Dear Heart, 
Be joyous, loving, free. 

Drink in the beauty of each day. 
Place naught twixt God and thee. 
Ope wide the portals of thy soul, 
And Christ will sup with thee, 

Dear Heart, 
Yes, he will sup with thee. 

There's glowing love in every ray 
Of sunshine, sent in memory 
Of Him who blesses longing hearts, 
Fills them with light and ecstasy. 

Dear Heart, 
What Christ is, thou mayst be. 

The thrilling song of happy bird 
That lightly flits from tree to tree, 
Is joy, the essence all divine. 
That bubbles forth in thee. 

Dear Heart, 
That glows and beams in thee. 

Then smile away the dust and care 
That seems to cling to thee. 
And rise above on wings of light 
The Father lifteth thee. 

Dear Heart, 
To realms thou longest to see. 



121 



Emerge from the darkness and tangle of material 
things and assert thine authority; speaking into mani- 
festation that which abideth eternally and changelessly 
in the realm of the Most High. Let thy struggling cease, 
thou child of spirit. Unlimited art thou in thy expres- 
sion of Deity ^ ' Follow thou me. ' ^

Puritp 



< i 



The Father is of too pure eyes to behold iniquity. '^ 
The Infinite is so pure, so absolutely perfect, that it is 
an impossibility for this all-pervading Mind, this great 
Universal Force, this unlimited Love Presence, to have 
the slightest conception of anything outside the Divine, 
which It is. 

Could we but realize this great truth, this knowledge 
of the ALLNESS of GOOD, we should be able to heal 
the nations of the earth of all disease. 

Could we but look with the eyes of the Universal 
Intelligence, we would never behold an imperfection in 
any of God's creation; never in our fellowmen, see 
aught save the divine, within and without. 



Thou that knowest thyself one with the Infinite, how 
glorious is thy peace, how radiant thy presence, how 
calm and poised in unchanging bliss. Unmoved art thou 
by aught that chances in thy way, untouched by any 
mind, save the Divine. 



The activities of God are ever pressing on to right- 
eous fulfillment.

Let me stand on the mountain top of thy glory, 0, 
Love Divine! Bathed ever in the ineffable sweetness of 
the Christ presence. Infinite Spirit of Truth, I do desire 
to see into the great Spirit World of Light; to walk the 
halls of Wisdom, and commune with the great minds. 

I desire to dwell consciously in the Christ presence. 
''You will''; was breathed upon my lips. Immediately 
I beheld an orchard of leafless trees. The ground was 
thoroughly mulched, and covered deep with bright yel- 
low straw. I said aloud, ''This is symbolical of the 
preparation of the mind for the harvest time; the prep- 
aration of the soil, the enriching thereof, that the spring 
and summer may bring forth an abundant harvest of 
fruit. "Yes," was whispered distinctly in my ear, and 
the vision passed.

Its silvery, thread-like way it wends. 

Entranced, I gaze into thine eyes; 

As blue are they as azure skies. 

Thy lips like dewy blossoms sweet, 

Tempt me tO' revel at thy feet, 

In adoration of the One 

Encircling all. From sun to sun. 

My soul doth rise 

To view God's glory in thine eyes. 

Thy hands are like the blossoms white; 
Which, touching, mine thrill with delight. 
Thy breath is fragrance of the rose. 
Thy brow as pure as falling snows. 
Thy hair in sunny waves of gold 
Shines in my heart, and casts the mould 
In which my life doth sweetly flow. 

Thy honied words and voice so low 
Bright angels win, and earth souls cheer. 
Thou art the link that draws them near

Thy hungering soul is ever reaching out in wild unrest 
to know the ALL. Thou climbest to the Mountain 
Heights, and on, beyond, thy spirit beckons thee, "Make 
Haste!" Thy eager soul is fed from eyes far-reaching 
and ever-searching. 

Sweeping the God-painted horizon, thou beholdest 
Mountain peaks from each of which when thou hast 
reached the summit, the scene doth change, causing thee 
to scan the Why and Wherefore of God's handiwork, 
from still another point of view; while grand old pines 
stand out in bold relief, as sentinels of God, and signal 
thee to heights yet towering from above, and from which 
thou mayst scan the ALL. From where thou standest 
now, the fleecy clouds do mingle with the mountain tops

softly. 

Sweeping far down to the gorge that lies beneath

depths, and yet, thou fearest not to mount to greater 
pinnacles of height. 

Thou wouldst look not down, but ever soaring 
upward art thou, like unto the eagle in his flight. And 
it is well. Turn only thy gaze downward when thou dost 
hear a call for help, and straightway do God's bidding; 
then with stronger pinions, wing thy way onward and 
upward unto eternities boundless heights. 

Ever shall thy soul take on more strength of action, 
be more sweeping in its Universal Power. For he who 
ever clamors for the highest, he who desireth without 
ceasing, is sure to dwell within the realm of Infinite Per- 
fection. Know thou this mighty truth, the impelling 
evolution from the lower to the higher is resistless and

Thousands of souls have drank at the fount 

Of thy wondrous waters of love; 

Have basked in the sunshine, and dwelt on the mount, 

That thy selfless giving hath proved. 

Thou art ever lifting the burden of man, 

Pushing back the dark curtain of grief; 

Ever aiding and cheering, unfolding God's plan, 

And giving his children relief.

Canst thou measure eternity's store 

Of blessings now welling from out the Christ's heart.

Couldst thou count thy treasures as stars in the dome 

That sparkle the blue vault above. 

Still, numberless more were set for thy crown 

As children of thy works of great love. 

Eternity ever shall sing its glad song 

And praise thee for sweeping aside 

The phantom of death that hangs over earth's throng; 

Thou bright one, by love glorified! 

Thy wealth is more than streets of gold, 

Than priceless gems and power of earth. 

Thy tender heart, thy Christed soul. 

Hath found in God its right of birth.

Most gracious in their love. 

Sweet Nature smiles unceasing here, 

And revels ever in sunbeams that follow 

Each the other in a song of Joy; 

Mantling the peaks in gleaming gold, the light of which 

Doth bid thee rise to view the glories

Cfte j[^a00ing of K— 

About half an hour previous to my brother's 
awakening in the spirit world, as I was realizing peace 
for the sorrowing wife, soothing her to rest for a few 
moments, after her days and nights of watchfulness and 
anxiety, I saw distinctly the boundless waters of old 
ocean, and like a flock of birds, came a multitude of 
tiny white-winged sail boats, and lighted thereon. Like 
so many guardian angels they seemed, coming to wel- 
come our loved one home, to bear him into the bright 
beyond. I held to the realization of peace for the house- 
hold; and freedom, and the Kingdom of God indwelling, 
for my loved brother. 

The summons came for the last farewell. The 
struggle was soon over, and another great soul was 
launched in the freedom of Infinite Love. 

Some two hours or more thereafter, while watching 
with the sorrowing ones and gazing out into the starlit 
night, I was shown a most wonderful display of beauti- 
ful white flowers of mammoth size, set in a background 
of smilax, snch flowers as are not seen save in the spirit 
realm. Across this bank of snowy whiteness, came 
floating a wreath of white and purple pansies, set in 
maiden-hair fern, and rose-geranium leaves. Instantly 
I knew it was the emblematic offering of purity, power, 
sweetness and mother love to him, who on earth was to 
her most near and dear. 

132 



Through the lone hours that seemed doubly sacred 
now, I still watched and waited, widely awake, and 
pondering on the Life I knew to be eternal. Near day- 
break the eastern star shone with such resplendent glory 
and brightness, it entranced me. I gazed long and 
fixedly at it. Finally three stars took its place in the 
heavens. '^The Trinity!'' I exclaimed. They passed, 
and behold! five brilliant stars, with more and smaller 
ones above them. Sufficient to complete the formation 
of a crown appeared. ' ^ For you, loved brother, ' ' I said ; 
and the vision vanished.

I sweep the earth from zone to zone, 
Heaven ^s blue, from star to star; 

The spirit realm from whence doth spring 
All things that really are. 

My chariot rests upon the wings 

Of Lovers immortal flame 
Whose glories untold myriads sing 

In most bewildering strains. 

The reigns I hold are thoughts of Ttuth, 
And thoughts of Love Divine; 

Reaching beyond the ken of youth. 

I AM THAT which knows no time.

I am bathed in the Infinite Splendor of Thy Pres- 
ence, Great Soul of Harmony, as I rest in the hush of 
the Heights of Thy Consciousness to which thou hast 
bidden me * ' Come. ' ' I hear thy voice in the song of the 
pines, an endless undertone of music, a silence so divinely 
sweet and rapt in melody that here apart from all the 
world, I consciously dwell with THEE in soulful Com- 
munion. 



If thou couldst dwell upon the heights eternal,

And never sweep the lowlands, and the deserts drear, 
Thou'dst never know the Joys supernal of thy King;

The Great Creator's praise. 

Until from Heaven's heights sublime, 

Thou beckonest all to see 

The Spirit, Life, the Love Divine, 

That is centered now in thee. 

The song-bird's sweetest notes ring out 

From depths within thy soul; 

Soft twittering, trilling, then a shout 

Of victory, as of old 

When warriors deemed the battle won, 

And right had triumphed over wrong.

Infinite Intelligence of Christ! Help me to under- 
stand fully the true import of thy Power, thy Presence, 
that I may instill it in the consciousness of mankind. 
That I may be instrumental in the annihilation of inhar- 
mony, ignorance, disaster and crime that seems to be so 
flooding the human race. Help me to become conscious 
of thy Power within to that degree that my entire being 
may be cognizant of the Absolute Truth. Let thy word 
of Harmony, thy power of Love dwell with me Eternally. 

Thou who art the inmost center of all, help me to 
open every avenue of my being to thee, that my counten- 
ance may show forth thy radiance; that I may know In- 
telligent Creative Love is moulding and building every 
cell of my body with a lasting presence of Peace, Health, 
and Grace. 

And as I behold Thee indwelling, so let others look 
upon me; and so let me behold all thy children. 

I can be, I desire to be, I am, a living center of Di- 
vine Love. I arise within myself and grasp my Oneness 
with thee. Great Spirit of Truth. I bless Thee in and 
through all. I see and hear only Thee. 

I love Thee supremely and all life as my own. The 
air I breathe is filled with love so deep and penetrating 
that only good can manifest.

Let now the deep tranquility that thou art, manifest 
within my soul. Let my whole being sing ''Peace." 
Thou art Joy, Health, Power. Thou art my True Self, 
the only Being that I am, that which is glorified in the 
Father.

Questioning^ 

Did you never stoop to gather a flower, when a 
something from within that seemed like an overwhelm- 
ing tide of love swept through your entire consciousness, 
and your whole heart went out like a mighty current of 
water, breaking loose from its pent-up walls, and all in 
love for this tiny blossom, as its sweet face was raised 
to yours? Did you never query at such a moment, ^^Am 
I bringing you pain, my sweet flower?" 

Did you not feel the great heart-throb of God within, 
as you caressingly held it in your hands, and pressed it 
slyly to your lips that you might not be seen of men 1 

And after enjoying its fragrance, its sweetness, have 
you not, O, so often, close pressed its faded beauty in 
your hands, and felt a touch, yes, a real pang of sorrow 
as you thrust it from you, casting it aside for fresher and 
brighter blossoms? 

This is the genuine Love, that is calling you to rec- 
ognize the Oneness of All Life. No wonder it costs you 
such a pang of regret; for the love given to you from the 
tender blossom was its sweetest fragrance; its rarest 
beauty, all enveloped in the One Great Life which is but 
a part of your very own. 



139 



Not striving to love, but loving. 
Not striving to live, but living. 
Not striving to be, but being; this is the Christ 
teaching. 



Eros says: ^^Time is measured by holy acts.^^ 



If at times threatening clouds float across the hori- 
zon of your life, heed them not, unless— perchance— you 
glimpse the gold and silver linings, but let Love, the 
Motive Power, guide you into paths of Harmony. 
Clouds will quickly disappear in the sunshine of Love.

Cfte Citp caon netful 

I lingered on the boulevard of an ancient city, allow- 
ing myself to be attracted hither and thither by what- 
soever appealed to me in way of diversion. I haunted 
the Art Galleries, towers and chapels; went into the 
busy marts, touched with the Merchant, the street- 
vender, the rich and poor. Sought the outskirts of the 
City. Stood on the stairway of a grand old castle that 
in times past, was; but now lay in abject ruins. The 
beautiful grounds a lonely tangle of vines and shrubs. 
The fallen walls were covered with ivy and other creep- 
ing vines. 

Standing amid the picturesque ruins which so filled 
my mind with a strange blending of joy and sorrow, I 
stretched out my hands in the soft sunlight, and casting 
my eyes upward, invoked the Great Oversoul: ''Canst 
thou not lead me into a city of thine own building, one 
not touched by the hand of man f Is there no greater life 
than this ceaseless turmoil, this mixture of the beautiful 
and the repulsive, the good and evil? Wilt thou not lift 
the veil that I may revel in thy never-ceasing splendor? 

The sunshine lessened. The distant sounds of the 
city subsided. The atmosphere grew soft and odorous 
as at the eventide of some sweet summer's day. The soft 
warblings of birds were distinguishable. 

I trembled with expectant ecstasy, and as quick as 
thought can travel, found myself standing on the broad 

141 



stairway of a magnificent dwelling. On the upper land- 
ing of this flight of steps was an archway formed in 
faintest tints of rainbow hues. In this archway stood 
the nude figure of a beautiful woman, as ethereal as a 
dream in her transparent loveliness. Glancing down at 
the foot of the stairs, I beheld a manly figure clad in 
loose-flowing robes of creamy white, on his head a crown 
of pale blue and gold. He was surrounded with artist's 
paraphernalia. The scene was bewilderingly beautiful 
in its transparency, the decorative plants, abundance of 
bloom, pillars, arches, statuary, tapestries and the en- 
tire structure, in the subdued light assumed in color a 
rosy gray, matchless in its tintings. 

Surely I had been ushered into ' ' a city not made with 
hands eternal in the heavens. ' ' I glanced at myself, sur- 
prised to find I was robed in softly clinging garments 
of purest white which fell in classic folds about my san- 
daled feet. My head, arms and hands were void of cov- 
ering. To my own consciousness I seemed ethereal, 
buoyant in body, hardly more than a bright dream. 

Again glancing upward, I beheld this radiant crea- 
ture gathering up a light filmy substance and with the 
wave of her hand, it fell in soft drapery about her ex- 
quisite figure. Softly she said: ^'Only for thee, fair one 
of earth. In this heavenly realm there is only the pure 
and the true interblending with Infinite Wisdom and a 
love of the beautiful, sacredly held in appreciation that 
far out-rivals aught that earth's children can conceive 
of." 

Instantly I was levitated hundreds of feet above the 
city and from this height surveyed at pleasure this glor- 

142 



ious city of the Gods, for such I now understood it to be. 

It was constantly held under this soft roseate tint of 
light, varying, changing, as dainty-hued and fleecy 
clouds floated over it. The homes were separated from 
each other by exquisite grounds, rich in fruits, flowers 
and foliage. Rippling streams of sparkling waters 
passed close by the steps of these beautiful homes, in 
which there were no doors or windows. They were sur- 
rounded with broad verandas, artistic archways, in 
which rested exquisite pieces of statuary and plants of 
indescribable beauty. Birds of brilliant plumage added 
to the enchantment of the scene, while their rippling 
melodies filled the air. 

In this city of art which extended in every direction 
as far as the eye could reach, I beheld an immense am- 
phitheatre of white and gold, bathed with the soft pink 
glow that so sweetly enfolded all. It was a marvel of 
architecture. The domes and spires rising to great 
heights, were upheld by a labyrinth of pillars. There 
seemed to be no sides to the structure which was sur- 
rounded by broad white steps that were continually un- 
der the tread of thousands of feet, coming and going. 
Volumes of music filled the atmosphere surrounding. 

To my silent inquiry, ^^What is the use and char- 
acter of such a building r^ A voice beside me said: '^It 
is limitless in capacity, unexcelled in beauty, abounds in 
Purity and Love. Here we worship as One Great Soul. 
We meet in perfect Unity. We know only One Great 
Heart that beats in and through all, and from here we 
radiate the Christ-Love, also the most Divine Music, 
which at times, when some receptive soul like unto yours 

143 



is praying to receive, we send as a direct shaft of Power 
and Harmony, and IT, vibrating throughout that soul, 
is of such intensity that the Soul becomes cognizant of 
its ONENESS with the Father, and is thus enabled to 
give it out to mankind in such a manner that the world 
joins in the refrain. 

Tliere is great joy in heaven over the one who has 
entered the innermost center of his own being, and un- 
folds therefrom the God or true self. Forget not that 
each and every soul is a temple of the Living Grod, ' ^ lim- 
itless in capacity, unexcelled in beauty, abounding in 
purity and love.'' 

Entranced, I listened to these wonderful words. 
The light enfolding the city grew in brightness until too 
dazzling to look upon. I momentarily closed my eyes, 
opened them, and beheld the softness of the sunset hue 
bathing all. Slowly it faded into a soft gray haze. 

Eagerly I looked for a return of the vision, but was 
destined to dwell on the loveliness of what I had wit- 
nessed. 

A restful glow of twilight settled over all as I sensed 
myself being gently borne back to earth. A voice 
breathed on my lips the words, ''Thou hast glimpsed 
the City Wonderful, my child. It lieth all about thee 
eternally. Seek it daily. Let Love open thine eyes, and 
Wisdom and Faith direct thee.'' 



Hold yourself in holy calm. Never waver. Never 

144 



doubt. Faith, Love and Wisdom will open wide the 
doors into the heavenly kingdom within your soul. 

Prepare to receive and give forth that which is 
being spread for you. ''Surely goodness and Mercy 
shall follow you all the days of your life, and you shall 
dwell in the house of the Lord forever.'' 



Did Jesus teach '' non-attachment T ' I think not. 
He taught rather such an exceedingly close blending 
with all life that he must needs exclaim the Great Truth, 
''The Father and I are One." 

Could it be possible for one so profoundlj lovable 
as He, One so centered in, and teaching the glad tidings 
of Love, to withdraw his love from His own? On the 
contrary, although he asked, "Who are my mother, my 
brother?" He so perfectly blended with the Great Heart 
of the Infinite he poured forth a constant stream of Love 
for ALL LIFE. 

This did not cause him to inditferently love those 
closely bound to him by the ties of birth. His very 
knowledge of ONENESS with the Universal gave him 
the power to Trust ImpliciUy the ALL-PEE.VADING 
Law of Harmony and Love to divinely protect his loved 
ones. 

How tenderly, at the crucifixion, he placed his 
mother in care of the beloved disciple, saying, "Behold 
thy Mother." 

145 



His Love was so great that selfishness was unknown, 
the fire of God-love so deep that like purest gold from 
the crucible, it poured forth to enrich mankind for all 
Eternity.

I've come down from the Heights 

But I've left my soul there. 

'Tis reveling in sunshine and soft mountain air. 

It is floating in cloudlets, nesting with birds, 

Eippling in melody, murmuring sweet words 

Of rapt adoration for Nature's bright self. 

Clasping hands with the Spirit realm; hushed is all else, 

Save the indwelling Glory of God in my soul 

As it bathes in the radiance, the Oneness with all 

That is eternal Harmony, joyous and free. 

'Tis the soul that is God-like, the soul that can see. 

The soul that's the true self, not this wearisome I 

That travels the earth and forever doth sigh 

For freedom from bondage, that ages have wrought 

As a mesh round my feet ; and of doctrines taught 

That were torturous; void of all reason and right, 

Filled in with suggestions of darkness and night. 

Then dwell on the Heights, my beautiful soul. 

Join the anthems of praise that eternally roll 

A continuous stream of melodies sweet; 

Thus I shall forget to abide at the feet 

Of doctrines and creeds that are threadbare and worn, 

And join you in Oneness. Anew shall be bom. 

As soul, we shall mount on swift wings of love, 

Knowing only the Heights, wherever we rove. 

147 



Come pattering down, sweet rain, 
In worlds of glittering light. 
You sing a loved refrain 
Within my soul to-night. 



Resting in the silence the question presents itself, 
^^What of the teachings of Astrology?'* In slow and 
measured tones came the answer: 

^^ There is but one pathway. "Walk thou therein. 
Many and diverse teachings will reach thine ears; re- 
member in and through all, above and below is but the 
One Infinite Intelligent and all Harmonious Creative 
Presence, God. 

When thou dost become thoroughly cognizant of 
thy oneness with this eternal Power, thou shalt con- 
sciously rule thy stars, and ^^All power in heaven and 
on earth shall be given unto thee.'' 



148 



Each and every individual is ^'compassed abont by 
a cloud of witnesses," both in the seen and the unseen. 
When telepathy and the ONENESS of mind is taught, 
as it should be, from childhood up, when people under- 
stand that whether present in or absent from the body, 
either on earth or in the spirit world, each and every 
awakened soul may know the thought, word and act of 
his brother, then man will strive tO' put forth in mani- 
festation only the noble and true. 

Sometimes Fear may be the check-rein, but usually 
the great and foremost struggle is to manifest the Best 
to our fellow man. There is not a man so fallen but 
that if he knew his every thought and deed was as an 
open book before both men and angels, he would guard 
well that thought and deed. 

Every soul is eternally surrounded by a ''Cloud of 
Witnesses,'^ whether he will it or no. Nothing can be 
hidden from the ALL SEEINGr EYE of spirit in whom 
we all live and move and have our being.

Why, dost thou know, dear, thy soul eternal sings 
A song of Harmony. Swept are the sacred strings 
Of the Aeolian Harp, by Heaven's breath. 
As thy loved voice rings clear and sweet 

' ' I know there is no death. ' ' 
Thy name is wafted on the wings, Aye, on the breath 
of love 

150 



'Tis sounded forth in melody that fills the realms above. 

Thou art, brave one, a blessing given 

To cheer sad hearts, to teach of Heaven; 

For thou hast proved within the soul 

Is Grod's own Kingdom. Christ, the Groal.

Be still, 0, restless Heart, 

And find thy peace, thy pleasure sweet 

In all that doth surround thee. 

In the waving grass, the flowers 

That bloom beneath thy feet. 

Seek not to soar to worlds unknown, 

Where thou wouldst be a stranger still, 

Far from thy home, thine own. 

But let the God within thee see 

The beauty that enfoldeth thee. 

As thou hast gained the mountain-side 

And aye, the greater heights, 

So thou canst overlook the tide 

Of surging scenes beneath thy sight, 

And be un-moved. 

So thou canst reach the exalted height 

Of God as Love, and Conqueror prove.

Enter into thine inner chamber and close the door. 
A great many enter this sacred sanctuary, but alas! the 
door is left ajar, and through this tiny crevice, connec- 
tion with the world is kept up, and the result is not 
what it should be.

standing on the crest of the mountain, gazing across 
immense chasms of boundless beauty, looking down into 
the depths of green of the grand old pines, whose arms 
reach out and touch in brotherly affection, one with an- 
other, and whose fingers are so attuned to the Infinite 
Breath that they discourse sweetest melodies to my soul, 
how can I see aught but the Divine in Fullness. 

To each and every soul must come wafting the sweet 
symphonies straight from the Great Oversoul, that 
knoweth only the one grand theme of Love, in its crea- 
tion, and in Its outbreathing. 

The soft sweet zephyrs play on my brow, and soul 
and body become one in consciousness. I am borne out 
into the glorified expanse of limitless grandeur and free- 
dom of soul. 

Do I listen for the ^' still small voice T' Then I hear 
it in the soft twitterings and cooings of bird-notes, in 
the far-away music of the softly falling water, meander- 
ing down the mountain side; Again in the murmurings 
of the winds among the pine tree branches. All swell 
in one grand harmonious song of Praise to Infinite Love.

'Gazing across immense chasms of boundless beauty. 



Strike thou the note of Love, Great Spirit of Truth, 
with such power within my soul, that it may carry in 
endless vibrations throughout Eternity.

I JLotoe It, Don't ^oui 

What is it that draws me to you, little One, 
Is it your shining curls. 
And your skin so brown? 
Or your deep, deep eyes 
With soft love-light borne? 

You came to me in the park to-day 

With other children 

All wild with play. 

The others passed on. I, a stranger to you, 

Was thrilled with delight 

As you dawned on my view. 

You waved your sweet hands 

O'er the valley below 

With its soft bed of green. 

Its lights all aglow, 

Shaded paths, cool retreats. 

And still lake of deep blue. 

You looked in my eyes 

Saying, "How do you do? 

I love it. Don't you? 

I wish I could paint it 

And give it to you.'' 

O, now I know, little Love, I cried. 
What brought you to me 
Through this great world so wide. 
'Twas soul meeting soul 



156 



In the light of true art. 
'Twas God meeting God, 
Hand to hand, heart to heart; 
And wherever you roam 
Over land and o'er seas, 
Still Oneness enfolds us 
The Father to please. 
And mayhap, somehow, 
In the aeons of time. 
Again I may hear 
Like the belPs softest chime, 
That sweet child- voice call 
From out God's great Park — 
^^I'se painted the picture 
for you, sweetheart.'' 

And if it be so. 

It will hang on the wall 

In my home over there; 

Yet, over it all, 

Like a sweet dream of Heaven, I'll see 

A dear dainty figure. 

All sunshine and glee. 

Floating curls, deep, deep eyes, 

Nut-brown skin, tiny hands. 

And the soul of my soul 

Forbidding the ban 

That e'er can divide us. 

The sweet mingling of Life, 

The soft murmurings of Love 

That makes all akin, 

And melts away strife. 



157 



Has caught the refrain 
From child-lips so true, 
And sweetly re-echoes, 
^^I love it. Don't you?'' 



158 



§)ilence 

Very early in the morning, in realization of the 
fullness of the Spirit, inbreathing and outbreathing, 
^^the Father indwelling. He doeth the perfect work,^' I 
found myself being rocked to and fro, as in a hammock, 
as plainly I heard my Mother's voice singing- 
Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber; 
Holy angels guard thy bed. 
Heavenly blessings, without number, 
Gently fall upon thy head. ' ' 

Several attempts were made to recall me from the 
stillness, but I refused to heed them; remaining for some 
time, fully realizing the embrace of spirit arms, in which 
I was being cradled. 

On coming out of this deep silence, I found myself 
enjoying wonderful peace of mind, rest of body and 
buoyancy of Spirit. The hour thus spent in the soothing 
refreshing presence of the Divine, the soft undertone of 
music and loving words from my sainted mother's lips 
will remain forever fresh in my memory. 

Such it is to contact the Spirit of Peace within, as 
taught us by our Savior. Such it is to refuse communion 
with aught save the Divine, which so sweetly cradles us 
in the arms of Infinite Mother Love.

3[uDse il3ot 

Tliinking one day of a dear friend, a ver^" lovely 
woman, highly cultured, I allowed a thought of criticism 
to steal into my consciousness, fearing her overly self- 
righteous; possibly vain. 

Almost instantly before me stood a beautiful child, 
thinly clad, and with one shrunken limb visible. She 
lifted her gTeat pleading eyes to mine, and holding up 
her tiny hands, said, ^'Please can you heal me? 0, love 
me into perfection;'^ then faded from my sight. Long- 
ingly my soul went out in love and healing thoughts to 
all such hungry- babes of the world, breathing forth the 
Allness of Universal health. 

Then, sweeping over me, came the thought, ''This 
is symbolical to me in some way. Children are typical 
of Nev/ ideas; and in some way that which I had in my 
mind was not perfect.'' 

I glanced back over the line of my thoughts, taking 
up this beautiful woman whom I had but ver\^ lightly 
criticised, and mentally freed her from all imperfections 
in my own mind, even seeing wherein she had a right 
to truly appreciate her own wonderful gifts of the spirit, 
giving her the thought, "You are divinely perfect in 
every way. ' ' I relaxed, feeling a clear sense of peace and 
love stealing over me. 

Immediately I saw myself in a beautiful woodland, 
the foliage of which separated and a cr^^stal lake dawned 

160 



on my view. As far as the eye could reach a placid body 
of water lay bathed in sunlight, the horizon coming 
down to meet its smooth surface. Over the scene ap- 
peared the message, ^' Peace! Judge not.^' 



Sweet Spirit, let me look into the eternal glories of 
the Infinite as outpicturing everywhere. Let me breathe 
the sweet incense of immortal bloom and beauty within 
my own being. 



The Substance of the Universe is spirit— Harmon- 
ious, intelligent Activity, of which our bodies are the 
visible expression. Consequently disease and un-rest 
have no foundation from which to manifest, save in-so- 
far as, through ignorance of the law, we fail to work 
along the line of Harmony. 



The tiny wild flowers, lifting their sweet faces to us, 
bespeak the Creator's love. The boisterous weeds, grow- 
ing in such fearless luxuriance, here and there, proclaim 
the power of Love. Mountains, seas, and valleys, all 
sing the melody of Love. The warbling birds, murmur- 
ing breezes and laughing waters all join with the 
meadow-lark's sweet carol of ^'Love" to the MOST 
HIGH.

Cell 9ie 

Tell me, 0, my greater self 

That roams the heavens at will, 

Tell me of realms of Love Divine 

Where souls e'er blending, intertwine in endless bliss. 

There are no words that can express 

The intense longing in my breast 

To know the Greater Life. 

That I may do the Father's will. 

Absorb the lesson to be still 

Enough to catch the strain 

Of Harmony; sweet Love's refrain. 

Tell me, when loving hands clasp thine. 

And wing into the higher sphere, 

Drinking the aromatic wine 

Of heaven's crushed fruit, sO' filled with cheer, 

Tell me if ecstasy's complete. 

Are there not heavens more to win! 

Dost thou sit at the Savior's feet 

And dost thou lose all fear of sin? 

Tell me if angels bear thee on; 
Doth heavenly music greet thine ears 1 
Tell me, if from the Father's throne 
A radiance bathes thee; calms thy fears, 
Illumines thee, and lifts thee up 

]62 



In Wisdom's ways of Life and Light; 
E'er overflows thy joyous cup. 

Tell me of scenes that are so bright their splendor daz- 
zles; 
Enchanting all that touch the chord and hear the call 
Of heaven's desire within the soul.

Child of Wisdom, list thou unto me. I am the root 
and branch within thee. Thy soul yeameth after wis- 
dom. Yea, thine ears listen with expectation of greater 
things yet to come. Dwell thou in the Christ Conscious- 
ness. Learn of me for I am meek and lowly of heart, 
yet All POWEEFUL am I. I will uplift thee with my 
life. Thy lips shall open, thy words flow forth as water 
gushes from the fountain head; then shall all conscious- 
ness of fear be swept from thy mind; then will 
I take thee up and show thee wondrous things ; and thou 
shalt say, ^^Yea, verily, I have known all this from crea- 
tion,'' so assured shalt thou be of thy wisdom of which 
I AM the abiding ONE. 

The wisdom of the ages shall breathe through thee. 
Thou art blessed beyond thine understanding. Give thy- 
self up to hours of meditation and restfulness and in 
peace and joy of soul, seek thou the innermost door of 
the ^^ Tabernacle'' and it shall open unto thee. '^Be still 
and know that I am God." Demand thou the fullness 
of Wisdom; push on, and up, and the key of Love shall 
open to thee all the secrets of the Celestial Realm. 

Believe in thyself, for I am inseparable from thee. 
I am the unfolding Power within thee. That which is 
now dark, incomprehensible and obscure to thee, shall 
be as clear to- thy vision as the light of the sun. I am 
thine own true self. I am He that shall speak the wis- 

164 



dom that I am, and that thou art. I am the One, alto- 
gether lovely. I am the LIGHT OF THE WOELD. 



Darling little dandelion 

In your bed of green; 
Brightening lawn and field alike. 

I have never seen 
More exquisite tints of gold, 
Humbler, happier, faces bright. 

Than your own; as nestling close 
In emerald tints, you greet my sight. 



The Eternal Now is with us, and with one sweep of 
True Thought all the fossilated beliefs and fears of ages 
past can be cast from their false foundations, and only 
the Supreme Knowledge and Truth of the Spirit remain 
unshaken. 

In such an hour of awakening does the soul, like a 
meteor, flash out, fearing not to claim its own with the 
Divine. 

In such a moment, the newly illumined soul ^alls out 
to the troubled waters of Life — ^^ Peace I Be still,'' and 
the winds and waters obey the command. The afflicted 
stretches forth the withered hand, and is healed. 

Silently, the Great Waters of Truth are cleansing 

165 



the thought waves, and false beliefs are falling away 
from mankind. The realization of the meaning of the 
Great Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniscience is 
sounding its harmonies in thousands and thousands 
of souls who are knowing of the fullness of this Truth 
in the Eternal Now. 



Surrounding thee and within thee is the Infinite 
calmness and serenity of the Divine. Awaken thou to 
Its presence, and accept of the power innate to do that 
which it is possible for a God to do. 



Untangle thou the thread of thy life, and weave it 
anew into the garment of symmetrical loveliness in- 
tended for thee, thou perfect one, to wear.

I drifted out ou the ocean blue, 
A tiny barque on the boundless deep, 
Unfurled my sails to toss with the wind 
And lay me down to day dreams sweet. 

Memory wafts back o'er years well spent. 
A child I lay on the cool green lawn. 
The same sky o'erspread me then as now, 
The same heaven's blue, the sun shone on. 

I lived again the old love dreams. 
And walked the halls of wealth and pride, 
Bent o'er fair foi*m of child-like grace; 
Once more I whispered, ^ ' Sweet, my bride. ' ' 

Happily passed the days and years. 
So bright, so fraught with love and joy. 
The gray, that tinged my waving locks, 
Proclaimed me little more than boy. 

While she I loved, too fair for eaiih, 
In morning hours of her shoii: life 
Drooped like a flower at eventide. 
That has shed its fragrance o'er the strife 



16: 



Of earth's sad din. It was not death. 
She gently smiled, passed through the gate, 
Paused for a moment, beckoned me on. 
Alone I drift, and wait, and wait 

Until God speeds my barque along 
And Love calls out, ^^Sail peaceful in 
The Haven of bliss, eternal bloom, 
Where we are linked as one in Him.'' 



'^Follow thou me." I, thine own true self, speak 
unto thee. Take heed, and I will lead thee in fields ely- 
sian, beside gently flowing streams. I will open to thy 
consciousness treasures of untold wealth from out the 
store-house of the Infinite; and breathe into thine ears 
sweet melodies of Heaven. 

I will teach thee of love so mighty that earth's con- 
sciousness of ill shall be dissolved therein, and will bathe 
thee in waters of Peace, in the stillness of which thou 
mayst hear the voice of the Master gently calling— 
^^ Follow thou me." 



You leave an impression with every thought you 
think. Like tiny rippling rills of water they steal uncon- 
sciously out to mingle in the Great Ocean of Thought 
on which mankind travels.

Why seekest thou such blinded paths, child of

thy way. 

Throw open the portals of thy soul and stand thou 
fearless in the glowing light of Truth. One knoweth thy 
heart, the purity of thy soul, and of thy holy desires 
to uplift in the name of Truth. But thou must have an 
abiding Faith, bom of understanding, must perceive the

Hearing my name called in the stillness of tlie early 
morning, I asked— ''Have you a message for me?^' 
Promptly came the answer— ''Yes; I want to speak to 
you of the glory of the Father, and of your own soul's 
growth. Never waver. Never be discouraged. Never 
digress from the pathway of the Infinite. You are on 
the highway to receive the unsearchable riches of In- 
finite Intelligence. Go straight to the Fountain Head. 
You are sacredly guarded and there are none who can 
overthrow you. The voice of Truth shall lead you into 
all Truth. Go on, and on, and on. And to that other 
one beside you in the pathway of life, I will say— Seek 
not of worldly gain, delving deep into the mad whirl 
of worldly ways and desires, but rather abide in the 
purity of the Spirit. The unfathomable wealth of the 
Universe is yours. Guard well these precious and price- 
less treasures, accepting them as the first desires of your 
heart. Hold fast in Wisdom which guides you in all 
your ways. There are for you hours of great illumina- 
tion. You are a wonderful soul. Your mind is peer- 
less. There is a mighty awakening for you all. Be pre- 
pared to receive it. The Power and Love of the Father 
surrounds you. Walk in the Light, constantly, and 
refuse to see the shadows.

Co ^p ^otfier 

In the soft gray of the morning, 

Ere the dawn of the rosy hue, 

As I lay on my conch in the silence, 

I sweetly muse, love, of you. 

The thought brings you closer, my mother. 

Your hands soft caressing my hair 

Which, in baby-hood gave you such pleasure ; 

As you lulled in the old rocking-chair 

My sorrows and frettings and moanings, 

Or cooing of love and delight. 

You touched me with love's magic fingers. 

And turned all my darkness to light. 

You sang, ^^Hush my babe, little darling. 

Holy angels are hovering near; 

Softly sleep, the Father close gTiards you. 

Sleep, bright eyes, love casts out all fear.'' 

My soul drank deep of its meaning, 
The fathomless depths of such love 
As a mother's free gift to her offspring, 
Sweeping down from the ethers above. 
'Twas in these loved hours of childhood, 
Tender guidings of sweetest refrain. 
My soul unfolded in greatness; 
Only to be hushed again 
In the world's oblivion of sorrow. 
With its unrest, its pleasures, its joys, 

171 



That drive us to^ deeper quaffings 
Of life's mixtures, hypnotic alloys. 

But not all the pleasures of earth-life, 
Neither its sorrow or care. 
Can erase from my soul the deep thrilling, 
As you lay your hand on my hair. 
For my soul bounds forth into freedom 
And mingles in bliss, love, with thine. 
The cob- webs of earth-life have vanished, 
Swept aside are the curtains of time. 



Naught but the language of the soul can e'er express 
My love for Nature in her June-time dress. 
Her dainty tints of green and gold. 
And shimmering lights, as dawn unfolds. 



Treading down the ills of life, putting them beneath 
thy feet, ever looking up, higher and still higher, thou 
dost behold the Great Over-Soul that illumines thee. 



If shadows fall, and earth seems drear, 
Take thought and rise above. 

Thou art the soul of light and '^heer, 
For thou art God, as Love. 



172 



You are instrumental in wisdom, love, power, health, 
opportunity, life, joy and illumination. You are eternally 
arraigned before the tribunal of the MOST HIGH within 
your own soul, to testify to the TRUTH as Omnipresent, 
Omnipotent and Omniscient. Your appetites and desires 
are for the Heavenly Manna, the unfoldment of the uni- 
versal soul of man. 

You are even now proclaiming to all, your knowledge 
of the Divine Harmony of the Universe. You are a 
beacon-light on the Mountain-top of Zion to guide the 
mariner safely into a Haven of Peace. You little know 
the power of your own soul, your individuality in 
Truth. 

Life flows through you like a mighty river in whose 
current is known only the Pure and Holy. Love per- 
meates your consciousness and thus you blend with the 
Harmonious order of the Universe your forces and know 
only the will of the great and perfect Intelligence in your 
being. 



AYhen you come to have perfect faith in the Allness 
of Infinite Mind, then it shall be unto you as you desire ; 
then you are fearless and free in God.

Inbreathing, ''My body, my life, is the manifesta- 
tion of Infinite mind." Outbreathing, slowly, "Infinite 
Mind is now cleansing, purifying and revivifying every 
atom and cell of my body. ' '

Co a.&.'D. 

Thou art my inspiration, Dear, 
A great white soul in a desert drear. 
That breathes of politics, chaos and strife, 
Each crowding the other for place in life. 

So calm, serene, in power dosfc thou stand. 
That all men forget, as they clasp thy hand. 
The greed that is eating down deep in their hearts ; 
And, wondering, listen for something that starts 

A vibration of Godliness, purity, love. 
'Tis the voice from within that calls them above, 
As stirred from the depths of God in thy soul. 
Unconsciously wielding the Christ power o^er all. 



Be yourself. Flounder not in the toils of earth con- 
sciousness of what love constitutes. Cut loose from old 
conditions, and enter the HOLY OF HOLIES. 

Do you not know that each and every soul must work 
out its own salvation! Then unfold consciousness of 
Freedom, and breathe, think and live for yourself; thus 
elevating your own life, and freeing your soul from a 
desire to stay with loved ones in order that you may 
bring them higher which would only tend to the stagna- 

175 



tion of your own soul. Take your freedom. Thus you 
will find yourself standing on a sure foundation and you 
are in a position to assist others. 

If you refuse to press onward at your own soul's 
demand, waiting, struggling and striving for others to 
mount with you, your progress must necessarily be slow; 
for each must mount the stairway of illumination in his 
own way. 

If perchance great souls mingle in the one great aim 
of the highest attainment in Truth, spontaneously mount- 
ing to the Christ consciousness together, then, there is 
greater strength ; for in Unity is power. However, linger 
not for any one, even those that seem most dear to you; 
those that you think mean heaven to your soul; for verily, 
you shall behold all souls as ONE, and be satisfied in 
the Universal Harmony, wherever you stand. 

Possibly those you would guide into the Kingdom 
as you see the door ajar for them, may have already 
entered by another way, and be waiting to receive you 
in your more illumined condition. Judge not. Fear not. 
Linger not. With earnest fervor and with fearlessness 
press on, and you shall meet the Christ in your own soul, 
and commune with the HIGHEST.

"Bright waterfalls dance, and birds carol all day. 



HoU 3n JLife'0 Dell 

A sweet little hare-bell with pure eyes of blue, 

Grew in the lone dell, just down below 
Where the water-fall flirted its drops so bright, 

And rippled and sang all through the long night. 

Now, who can say it was lonely or sad; 

Or who that it longed for companionship glad. 
And yet, the soft sunshine spoke love to its heart; 

The sweet winds' caress, caused new tendrils to start. 

And soon, standing close to this hare-bell forlorn, 
A tiny new bud, a new face, being bom. 

The voice of the hare-bell crept forth in great glee, 
Singing— ^'Praise be to God, for this sweet gift to me.'' 

So stand we alone, until sunshine and wind. 
Awaken the soul to see those of our kind. 

Growing close by our side, and longing to know 
Of the love in our hearts that sets others aglow. 

The stronger, the elder and more wise must rise, 
Stretch forth the hand, wipe the tears from the eyes 

That look up to them for companionship dear. 
Show them the pathway, the light shining clear. 

Blessed Jesus, the mighty, stood forth all alone, 

But, knowing his Oneness with God, ne'er was shorn 

177 



Of power to up-lift and brighten the day, 
Of hungering souls that grew by the way. 

So the hare-bell, our own souls, Christ Jesus, the Light, 
Have ever a mission. Let it be What is Right. 

Let it be what the heart sings as we see by our side 
Hungering souls, thirsting ones. Let us ever abide 

In tenderness; knowing no lone hours of pain. 
But singing sweet praises to his holy name; 

As he wafts us, on billowy wings of content 

Our hearts own companions, by his bounty sent. 

Let us clasp hands and hearts, and souls, too, as well. 
And enjoy the sweet fragrance of love in life's dell 

Where sunshine, soft zephyrs, and butterflies play. 
Bright waterfalls dance, and birds carol all day. 



The Infinite and Eternal Energy of the Universe is 
thine with which thou mayst create thine own indwelling 
peace. 



Thou art truly standing in the Great Eternal, un- 
touched by the shadows of earth-life, and well mayst 
thou say, "I thank Thee Father that thou hast heard 
me, that thou dost always hear me, that I, thy child, am 
one with thee.'' 



178 



Deeper than the fathomless waters of Old Ocean lies 
the Truth of Life within thy Soul. Thou mayst not be 
conscious of that which thou art, but thou wouldst lose 
the pleasure Eternity hath in store for thee couldst thou 
consciously foretell the God-Knowledge which lies un- 
awakened within. Thou art the Universe in concentrated 
effort, Evolved Conscious Intelligence. 

The wisdom of ages, the Creative Love, the Life 
pulsating throughout the Limitless Universe, the Power 
which Controls All, is within thee. 

Whether thine awakening be of great speed or no, 
still Eternity worketh for thee, the unfoldment of that 
which thou art. Thou mayst drink deep from the Foun- 
tain of Joy if thou wilt open the door to thine under- 
standing. 

Transcendent beauties await this awakening. Con- 
sciously follow thy soul in its hours of transition into 
the realm of the Great Invisible. Enter the secret place 
of the MOST HIGH, it may be either on the mountain- 
tops, or in the busy marts of life. In this thought realm 
thou shalt find abiding Peace, unbounded Power. 

Remember thou art of the Infinite Intelligence and 
this realization shall hourly bring thee into greater Con- 
sciousness of thy divine relationship with the SuDreme 
x\LLNESS of the UNIVERSE. 



179 



The richest of God's blessings are forever thine 
And o'er thy path through Life Eternal shines 

The radiance of His love. 
He weaves for thee a crown of Truth, tO' bless, 
Woos thee in paths of Peace and Righteousness; 

Lifts, thee to realms above.

You linger long at the portals, 
Why dwell so long in the mist? 
Love beckons thee. Open and enter, 
By the Spirit of Freedom be kissed. 

Thou art all a-weary of waiting 
I'hy life is shrouded in night. 
Let go of old earth and her doubtings. 
Awaken in God's gleaming light. 

Around thee we stand, only waiting 

To bear thy sweet spirit away 

To thy home that is flooded with sunshine, 

Where time is eternity ^s Day. 

Thy out-stretched hands express longing 
For freedom on Life's Boundless Shore; 
Thy heart e'er eagerly hung 'ring 
Shall be fed from Love's Feast, evermore. 

Then drift on Love's wings through the portal, 

Thy awakening shall be in the Light; 

In the Sunshine and Peace, in the Glory 

Of God's presence, His Warmth, and His Might.

In the Silence there appeared in the heavens an un- 
usually large and inconceivably brilliant star. Mentally 
I asked "What wouldst thou have me to know concern- 
ing the messenger of light gleaming on me from out the 
Heavens!'^ Quickly held before my eyes was a filmy 
veil, and written thereon in letters of gold, was the one 
word, ''Faith/' 



Wouldst thou know more of Life! Then fix thy 
mind on Love Supreme. Let the glow of Harmony reach 
into the depths of thy soul, allowing the light therefrom 
to tint thy view of all thine eyes do chance to rest upon. 



The Omnipresence is Harmony. Man, becoming 
conscious of this Truth, launches himself in Oneness with 
the ALL GOOD. One really desirous of the highest, 
abandons self and co-operates with the Universal Power, 
thus throwing open the hitherto invisible channels of 
creative power, making it possible to manifest perfection 
in every expression of life. 



He who would associate with Gods must first him- 
self become a God.

^'Why was the thought of re-mcamation bom?^^ 

I questioned, lone and still; 

And then, I listened in the Silence deep, 

For words of wisdom that might keep 

Me closer in the thought of Christ ; 

The perfect way. 

Borne on the ethers of celestial light, 

Came soft the answer: 

^'Twas to satisfy the night of man's illusions. 

To set the seal of rank discussion. 

On his half-starved soul. Oh, cruel proposition! 

The mind thus harrowed with dark doubts and fears, 

Leads out amid the labyrinth of souls, his own. 

And drops therein, his jewels of great price; 

So lightly treasured. 

He wots not of his loss until he, all alone, 

Sees slowly measured 

Out to him, that which he has sown.'' 



On the morning of March Twenty-fourth, Nineteen 
Hundred and Four, held before me in the Silence, was a 
parchment on which was plainly written— ^' Dear One, 
you are developing great knowledge of God, and proving 
the work of the Spirit. The Kingdom of Heaven is 
within you. All channels are open to you. Your crown 

184 



of glory awaiteth your recognition.'' Much more being 
written which I could not decipher. 



The recognition of God as Love is the annihilation 
of, the curative for, all sickness, all lack, all ill. Love 
rests, soothes and heals. Fills the nerve centers, and 
penetrates the bones and muscles, and is the all-absorb- 
ing presence. No ill can abound if Love is allowed 
entrance in the consciousness. Take the thought '^I love 
everybody, and everybody loves me. I love all life, and 
all life loves me. ' ' And there will be found no phase of 
life that will fail to respond to this sincere love. Even 
the plants answer readily to love treatments. Love is the 
all-provident God. Cleansing, soothing and healing all 
who dwell therein. Christ, the Master, the indwelling 
Spirit of Love, pours through each receptive heart in 
living streams of light, His mighty power of Universal 
Love. Let the affirmations be— "I love, and love uni- 
versally. I love and love individually. My love rests 
over all, and in all; and love I draw from all." 



The fleecy banks of drifting clouds, under the glory 
of the shining sun of Love, melt into the summer sky of 
soft transparent blue. Love is the great equalizing 
power, the great beneficient harmonizing medium.

Mama dear what makes you say 

^^ Mama's birdling must not play 

On the lovely carpet blue, 

In the parlor." Is it true 

That my Mama fears the sun 

Shining on her little one? 

If it fades the carpet so, 

Can you think it makes me grow. 

Mama mine? Those flowers of pink 

Are so pretty. Don't you think 

God can keep the colors bright 

In your carpet? if it's right 

The sun should shine with all its might 

Why don't you buy a carpet green, 
Where tiny blossoms may be seen 
Just opening wide their eyes at God, 
And nestling close in Mother sod? 
They have them in the park, you know. 
And Mama dear, I love them so. 
They are so soft and cool and sweet. 
And feel so loving to my feet. 
The sun shines always over there, 
And on the blossoms everywhere. 
I never heard the Gard'ner say 
^^Pull down the curtains, God, I pray 
Or you will fade my carpet gay."

mittt} in tfte Silence 

*^Can you conceive of the intense longing of the 
Christ to give unto an ignorance-burdened people the 
truth of their being in God 1 We reach out with the same 
un-conquerable love for souls, and almost uncontrollable 
desire to awaken these weary restless ones, to show to 
them the Way of Life. We lose ourselves in Universal 
Love. 

We do not sorrow and grieve over erring souls in 
seeming bondage. We see them only as divine, knowing 
that as Eternity IS, so is the assurance of each soul's 
awakening to the truth. 

We carry them ever in the most sacred thoughts of 
love and tenderness ; never censuring or condemning, but 
gently uplifting them to the knowledge of the truth 
indwelling. 

This shall be the work of the awakened ones in earth- 
life.'' 



The Eternal Creative Force, the Intelligent Har- 
monious Creative Force, is omnipresent. The more you 
draw upon it, the larger will be the supply that you will 
become conscious of. Becoming conscious of this limit- 
less supply of Creative Energy, you are enabled to intel- 



189 



ligently apply it to your every need. Thus you become 
one with Omnipotence, guided by Omniscience, living in 
the Omnipresence. 



The realization or consciousness of Truth as taught 
by Jesus, makes the usual way of passing from death 
unto Life avoidable; for it so spiritualizes the atoms of 
the body which are but centers of intelligence under con- 
trol of the mind, that perfect control of the physical is 
established. Thus the "Father'' and "Son" manifest as 
one; or the cause— Spirit— and the "Son"— Conscious 
Intelligence— work in Harmony, and Life Eternal is the 
result. 



The soul that realizes its identity with the Infinite 
and Eternal Intelligence of the Universe, has gained 
absolute freedom and boundless power.

Solace 

Eegret not thy vacation ended; 

But rather rejoice and be glad, 
That with Nature thy soul hath so blended, 

Naught can grieve thee or make thee feel sad. 

Thou hast drank deep from the heart of nature; 

Delved to its very core; 
Gazed on its sprouting tendrils. 

And cried and sighed for more. 

Be content, oh soul, in thy knowledge; 

Uproot all thine error and fear. 
Abide close in the Father's loving; 

Erase all earth's sorrows and tears. 

Thou hast touched the heavenly harp-strings; 

Thou'st heard voices from over the way. 
That wed thee to Life Eternal, 

Transforming the darkness to day. 

Thou'st communed with the saints of Heaven, 

Mounted to heights sublime. 
Attuned is thine ear to the Infinite. 

Thou'rt bathed in the Christ-Love divine. 

Then know thou these great truths immortal ; 

Breathe them forth ta bless all mankind; 
And trust thou the Father forever. 

He speaks to thee, soul, in the wind, 

191 



In the sunshine and stomi and blossoms, 
In faces that speak joy and grief. 

He bids thee unfold thy sweet secrets, 
And give to His children relief. 

Then content thee, oh soul, in thy longing. 

God in nature hath fed thee full well. 
Eeturn to thy love-labors, singing: 

^^All is Life, All is Love, All is Well." 



Very early in the morning, in silent realization of 
the One Power Omnipresent, asking for a greater realiza- 
tion of Peace, Wisdom, Joy and Poise, this message was 
distinctly spoken: 

''Abide in Christ. Openly commune with Him. 
Work in His consciousness. Bathe in His spirit. 
Breathe in of His unselfish love. Work exclusively in 
His teachings, and dwell in the radiance of His coun- 
tenance. 

Unfold in tenderness and loving-kindness. Thus 
shall you develop greater healing power, becoming daily 
more cognizant of Peace, Joy, Wisdom, Power and Self- 
Poise.'^

While my heart he dissects in great glee. 
Flitting gaily away, his beauty enhanced, 

Whispering love to each leaflet and tree."

A voice from the Silence in the early morning hours, 
says— ^^ Let sunshine flood thy soul, and health will 
abound." Again it says— ^ 'The philosophy of Life is 
Love. ' ' 



* * * * 



Out beyond the breakers of earth-life, in the calm 
mid-ocean of Infinite Love, I am safely anchored. 



M, M, M^ Jjf, 



Deep in the rhythmic vibrations of thy sweet life is 

193 



that thou seekest. It is not health of body thy soul 
craveth, but it is the recognition of itself. Then, when 
thou hast found the kingdom of Harmony and its right- 
eousness within, thou canst not do aught but show it 
forth in thy body which is thy soul manifest. 

Think deep and beautiful thoughts of the within, the 
Soul. Let eternal praise flood thy consciousness. Thus 
shall all thy being manifest the truth in fullness, and 
thou shalt be glorified with the Father's own self, as it 
was with thee before the world, or the untrue conscious- 
ness, took up its citadel within thy mind. 



194 



Co Cfiee 

Infinite wisdom sits enthroned upon thy hrow, child 
of the living' God. Call not around thee conditions of 
denseness, but let the Divine radiance illumine thee. 
Thou art ever calling for more wisdom. Thou must first 
assimilate and use that which thou hast called forth. 

I am but teaching thee of thy divine self, and of the 
unlimited power which is thine. Abide thou in faith and 
seek not to replenish an over-filled vessel, but let Wisdom 
flow freely through thee, enriching and purifying thy 
consciousness. Let it flow as gracefully and peacefully 
as a deep running river, whose banks, enfolding this tide 
of love, shall show forth the most beauteous and luxur- 
iant verdure, the choicest fruits and flowers. 

The divine blessings of Him who is Life, are ever the 
same with thee. The Father reigneth in Love and Wis- 
dom, in unrelenting power of good. 



Let the lips be dumb when no good thing can be said. 
Let the eyes close in peace, rather than view evil.

The love of Christ, like an Infinite Sea, enfolds all.

As the silver cord, the magnetic current of the soul, 
is attached to the physical, when in the hours of sleep 
it wanders hither and yon, even so is the soul of man 
attached to the great vital and Universal Truths that so 
disturb him, until he knows the Truth that sets him free. 

It is this divine unrest that urges on in paths of 
eternal progression and evolvement. 

There is for man a state of consciousness, when 
poised in the principle of Harmony, that is absolute and 
peaceful progression. It is a knowledge that Truth and 
limitless Intelligence is Eternally present. 

However, the disturbance of the soul until one 
awakens to this center, is greatly to be appreciated, and 
one should never decry its onward urge, or seek relief 
therefrom in worldly avenues of thought. 

Rather seek to establish within the mind the prin- 
ciple of Harmony existing universally; then the unrest 
ceases, and the soul finds freedom here and now, thus 
becoming able to accomplish that for which it was 
launched forth as an individualized center. 



Every soul has its place in the intricate workings 
of the universe.

the lives of the un-bom millions. 

A wonderful revelation of Light and Love is open- 
ing to thy consciousness, boundless in its divinity, 
working out into the lives of all as a destroyer of 
ignorance and sin. 



None can talk of evil without tainting the conscious- 
ness. Do not plan to overcome evil, but be of too pure 
eyes to behold evil. Build continually in Truth. The 
Truth makes free.

thy face to- the sunlight and warmth of the Eternal 
Center of all Light, and let it shine through thee until 
thy being shall radiate the glory of the God-presence, 
that all may behold the gladness, the infinite loveliness

gielD to m Spirit 

Do not seek to force the Spirit, but rather yield to 
the Intelligent Harmony and Life that eternally is, aad 
be at rest. Be of one mind. ^^Let thine eye be single'' 
and willingly give yourself to- the spirit, the intuitive 
forces of your nature. 

You are ever searching for Wisdom, but wherein 
you fail is in not yielding yourself completely to these 
finer forces of the Spirit which, tO' the un- awakened, 
exist in the invisible realm. Arouse yourself to spiritual 
understanding. Let not the world and its cares and 
pleasures press hard upon your soul. In the true self 
you do abide in the Most High. A press of worldly 
affairs often so ingratiates itself in the consciousness 
that you touch but lightly on the Truth of your Being; 
thus causing you to become dissatisfied with yourself. 

The decision is within yourself whether or no you 
will enter the abode of the higher realms of thought, 
thereby opening to yourself the consciousness of the 
^^ Kingdom of Heaven within.'' 

A complete yielding to the highest desires of your 
soul will give you entrance into the avenues of the Great 
Intelligence. 

All mankind may revel in this realm of Truth if 
they so desire, and may live to the higher dictates of 
their own souls. 

199 



All may sense the Divine presence and realize com- 
munion with the more evolved individualized centers 
of Intelligence of the Spirit Realm, if they will but yield 
to the Most High, indwelling. 



When the mornings are gray, the clouds hang low, 

All life looks gloomy and sad, 
Let your voice ring out with a gleesome shout, 

'Twill help make the Old World glad. 



Are you fond of companionship? Then know that 
you have it in the Universal Allness of Life. 



Linger not in obscurity and darkness. The Divine 
urge within thee is thine own soul calling for recogni- 
tion, and will not be stilled until thou hast paid the 
uttermost farthing; and established thy Oneness with 
the Infinitude and Grandeur of The Father. 

It is not a force outside thine own soul that is 
clamoring for recognition. Through thy persistent 
desire for the Highest, thou hast called forth that which 
knoweth no rest until it findeth peace in the knowledge 
of the Universal Truth of Being. 



200 



Po00t&tltie0 of m @aul 

You are capable of giving forth from the Spirit 
that which your own soul is unfolded to. 

The reason the inspiration does not come at the 
bidding of the will, is this: you are not always receptive 
to the highest, not always prepared, no matter how 
progressed you may be. The soul is ever conscious, but 
you are in a condition that makes it impossible to give 
forth. 

The soul is always full of wisdom, but not allowed 
freedom. The soul always receives the highest. It 
never slumbers, and if you are not in perfect bodily con- 
dition when asleep or resting in the Silence, you give 
It no chance to flow until you right yourself. 

The body must be at-one with the soul. Great 
writers can not always write, and yet the soul is always 
willing and ready to give forth the highest. We are apt 
to disturb the soul expression by thoughts we should 
not have. 

The soul and the mind are one and the same; how- 
ever, the soul may be gone for a time, it leaves the body 
and travels for Wisdom and Knowledge. 

Soul and body are two; for when the body goes, the 
soul lives on. Yet man, by the knowledge of the Truth, is 
enabled to retain the body, the earth-expression, so long 
as he may desire, as it is but the instrument or visible 

201 



expression of the soul, the mind, that which is the 
Real Self. 

Soul, or mind, is the power which rules the body 
and is one with it, provided the objective consciousness 
will allow Truth to manifest. If not allowed to so mani- 
fest, through ignorance of the Law of Harmony, the Law 
of Intelligent Energy as all-pervading, then separation 
of soul and body must necessarily follow. 

In Eternity, which is Here and Now, if we so will to 
realize it, unencumbered by ignorance and pre-conceived 
opinions, we may go on the wings of Thought, either in 
the seen or the un-seen, where-so-ever we may desire. 



Among the greatest artists of earth's children are 
those who cull from the heart of the Infinite, master- 
pieces flowing from the pen and reaching the hungering 
multitudes who are thirsting for knowledge of the 
Invisible Powers that be.

"All who pause beneath your faithful keep, 
Quafe life anew." 



@)entmel peak 

stem watch-tower of the valley! 

You rear your head high in the air 

And all who pause beneath your faithful keep, 

Quaff life anew. 

Protection you do give to all, 

Who in sweet reverence, behold in you 

The Universal Presence, God; 

While melodies of Heaven soft murmur their sweet song 

Through great and massive pines, 

—And those of younger years— 

At random, interspersed with sturdy oaks. 

Which e'er be-deck your sides from base tO' dome. 

From your great height 

You fashion at your will the flow 

Of tossing waters, sweeping o'er your out-stretched arms, 

Falling like filmy veil tO' mighty depths below; 

Which ever and for Aye do men entrance. 

Anon from far aloft you poise in air. 

Gazing with heart-felt Joy, 

On falls of fair Yosemite, 

On peaks and domes surrounding. 

While ever at your feet doth toss and roll 

In sweet un-rest 

The waters of the beautiful Merced. 

203 



You view in your majestic silent way 

The valley that Dame Nature hath so wildly cultured. 

The willows bend and bow, 

And sweet eglantis bloom, throwing to you 

Their perfume rare. 

The wild white lilacs shed abroad 

Their fragrance on the ambient air. 

The native Indian, stooping low o'er carpets green 

Doth cull therefrom the richly flavored strawberry, 

And look to' you in Joy. 

You keep your faithful watch o'er all 

That tread the winding paths on mountain side, 

And through the valley's maze. 

Eternally you stand with head erect, 

A Beacon-light to' guide 

The Seeker home; 

And woo him on to greater heights 

Of poesy and art. 

And when, be-times he needs must leave your care, 
His soul can ever view you from afar 
As you abide in your majestic splendor. 

So to earth's children. 

Stem watch-tower of the valley. 

You do ever sing a song of Power. 

The soul of man, that looks on you. 

Can never fail 

To touch on Life's more Glorious Themes, 

As high he dwells; 

E'er viewing clear from out sweet Nature's heart 

204 



The beauties of the fair Yosemite, 
Production on the canvas visible of Life, 
Speaking forever the Power limitless of 
The Almighty Artist, GOD. 



Stand upright in the fullness of the Spirit. If you 
do not receive richly, then question your own soul. You 
may either create darkness or light. 

You are the one wholly responsible for your own 
soul's progression. Extend the soul of Love, and it will 
return to you. 

You are capable. It has been handed down to you. 
If the cares of earth-life seem to press too hard, see to 
it that you do not accept of sucii cares. 

Too many stars dropping at one time, fluctuate. 
They are excessive. Do not create in too many direc- 
tions, lest it scatter your forces. 

Be led by the inner knowledge of your own soul, the 
Father indwelling. The Key is yours. Will you guard 
the treasure! Take the Divine leading and work from 
within. 

Give forth the words of the Spirit, that which wells 
up from the soul in love for all of God's children. 

The spirit of inspiration will guide and lead you to 
give forth the words of Eternal Truth. 

Blessed are the children of earth who are in the 

205 



same realm of Love, vibrating from sphere to sphere, 
reaching out for the same God, mind to mind; the same 
thoughts, the same love, guarded close, to the end. 



206 



Cftere 3re no Limitations 

We can only approach, and become cognizant of, the 
grandeur and perfection of the Spirit by irrevokably 
uniting ourselves, through the avenue of Intelligent 
Thought, to the Law of Harmony. 

There are no limitations to the Divine. There is but 
One Intelligence, in the which, man is free to unfold to 
any degree that he desires. 

This Infinite, Harmonious, Intelligent Force is Omni- 
present, or it is not any where in existence. 

Man's failure to recognize this Power is no sign it 
does not exist, any more than it is true that electricity 
did not exist before man evolved to a knowledge of its 
presence through his Intelligence and Reason. 

The out-picturing of limitations in man is no more 
than the out-picturing in a child of his ignorance of the 
multiplication table, until by searching he has proved 
it an Established Principle. 

Latent within man is the capability of grasping more 
and more of the Eternal Truth of Being as he progresses 
in the onward march of Life, throughout Eternity. 

If this Power, this Intelligence were not Infinite, 
then man might claim for himself limitations. 

Only through ignorance of the existence of this In- 
finite Eternal, Harmonious and Intelligent Energy, which 

207 



is God, can man fail in manifesting Wisdom, Health, 
Love and Power. 



Thou art living for a purpose. Let this Truth sink 
deep into thy Soul. There is no time for foolish imagin- 
ings and waste of power. Poise thyself. Conserve thy 
forces and push on into' the limitless expanse of Universal 
Wisdom. 

The full glory of the Father awaiteth thy desire for, 
thy acceptance of, the Truth.

mftat 10 ^isftet Cftougftt? 

Many ask what the Higher Thought stands for. All 
must, sooner or later know, it stands for, and is, a 
Divine Center of Truth in each and every seeking soul; 
from which already are going forth such vibrations of 
Christ Power and Wisdom that thousands are daily 
being blessed. 

It draws to itself the Harmonies of High Heaven, 
which you who will be still enough in your hours of 
silent meditation, may hear. 

It draws to Itself infinite and illimitable Wisdom 
which is freely given forth from out the realm of Divine 
Intelligence. 

This Higher Thought Center in each, vibrates with 
the Infinite Energy of the Universe. ^ The seeker must 
keep attuned to these Harmonious Vibrations, by great 
and lofty thoughts, words and deeds of Love and Truth. 

The Higher Thought stands in the Universe as a 
Mighty Pipe Organ in some grand old Cathedral, whose 
deep melodious tones are even now pealing forth in rever- 
berations of bewildering sweetness, heavenly symphonies, 
entrancing strains of Divine Music, and whose Organist 
is Christ, the Truth. 

This Organist never strikes a false note, never 
wavers in bringing forth the Harmonies that are divinely 
sweet, infinitely powerful and eternally true. 

209 



In its softest and most melodious tones, if you listen 
closely, you will hear the healing words of our loved 
Master, Jesus, as breathed forth in tender love and 
sympathy— '^ Thy sins are forgiven thee. Go— and sin 



no more. ' ' 



Amid the wild crash of thunder-swelling tones, as 
of a gathering storm, flowing, ebbing, surging, in uncer- 
tain time, you may hear the message — ^^ Peace. Be still," 
and the soft harmonies of Love float out from this Grand 
Old Organ, the Christ Center, the Higher Thought Realm 
of the Soul, and into some seeking heart a ray of Light 
and Peace of Love Divine, has stolen its way and the 
turbulent Ocean of its life is stilled. Oil is poured on 
the troubled waters. 

The doors, the windows, of the soul are opened wide. 
The Infinite Wisdom, God, has spoken in the midst 
thereof, and health and peace reign supreme. 

Evenly, smoothly, now the Harmonies Divine are 
playing in the soul, and sweet consciousness that ^ ' All is 
WelP^ lulls to Rest. 

Suddenly we are awakened from our peaceful medi- 
tations. The storm of justifiable wrath is upon us. The 
intensity increases. Wild, weird, almost angry, these 
deep symphonies come surging forth. We know the keys 
are being swept by the Master-hand of our Christ. It 
startles, electrifies, thrills us. 

We look, and lo! The tables of the money-changers 
in the House of the Lord are overturned. The atmos- 
phere is cleared of all save Spiritual Knowledge, and 
materiality stands forth, shorn of its power. 

210 



spirit breathes softly forth— ^^ Behold! I am All in 
All. Beside me there is none other. I am the Word, 
Intelligence. I am God, Love. I am come that you might 
have Life, and have it more abundantly." 

The bells of Heaven are ringing now, and soft 
strains are issuing from this Great Center of Melody. 
We hear the gentle foot-falls of Christ in our midst. We 
sense His mighty Love in our souls. We eagerly reach 
out to dO' the works which he did, and is still doing. 

We let ourselves know the great Truth, * ^ The Father 
and I are one." 

Even Death is vanquished from our consciousness, 
as the last sweet strains of this Great Organ softly melt 
into the ether of High Heaven, and our souls grasp the 
Truth, and affirm— ^^I am a note in this Mighty Organ 
of Truth, without which it would be incomplete. I will 
keep myself attuned to the Highest, I will breathe forth 
Love and Power to All. I am Harmony itself. 

^^I am responsible to every other Life for my every 
thought, word and deed, for that other life is but my 
own." 

Thus in unity shall the Higher Thought Centers of 
the Soul grow in Love and Knowledge of the Truth that 
gives Freedom to mankind. 



Look deep and search the heart of the soul. You 
will find Love and Wisdom embedded there.

Walk ye therein. The Gates are open tO' those who will

unfoldment into ALL. 

Can you pick up the thread of Christ's Life, and 
dare to do the will? Step out and face Life, Come into 
the Universal? 

It's the self that holds earth's children, that little 
self. Get away from it. Teach others so to do. Look 
into the Light of Life. 

This awakening within the soul is Glorious. Go on 
higher and higher, step by step, into the Eternal. Bathe 
in the waters of Life, rippling with Love, glorified in the 
promise of His Majesty, the Master.

214 



When awakened to the Harmonious Law of the Uni- 
verse, you will find you are dwelling in the boundless 
Ocean of Life, with all the Forces around you seething 
with Love, Faith and Charity. 

This awakening to the Powers that be, means 
ever^^thing to the soul of man. Sources of great strength 
are being turned into channels of earth-consciousness, 
removing all obstacles to man's development. 

Open your eyes. Let in the spiritual perception and 
awaken into the sunlight of God's countenance. 



Be thou holy within thyself. Be thou acceptable, 
child of the Most High, within thine own consciousness. 
Delay not thine advent into paths of righteousness and 
peace. Awaken unto the power of the Christ indwelling. 

Only canst thou receive this Limitless Power from 
within. When thou dost call for outside forces to make 
for thee conditions of Peace, thou art trammeling thine 
own soul. 

When thou delayest thine hours of silent communion 
with the Most High to a more convenient season, thou art 
condemning thyself to disappointment and failure. 

Stand thou in the midst of the Lord thy God, ALL 
MIGHTY. Let thy soul set in the thoughts of Love, as 
stars in the firmament. 

Love is the Power. It is thy Guiding Star. Enter 
thou the portals of Love. 

215 



Send out Love. Be true. Be firm. Eeach out, and 
you will receive. O, the glories of the Divine Master 
flowing in the souls of His children! Always calling, 
calling. Never weary of reaching down into the lowest 
depths of misery to uplift the soul of man. 



Doubting keeps you in the dark. The clouds come 
between you and the stars. Wipe away the mists and 
you will see.

I could not sleep; 

For cause unknown, I tossed me to and fro. 

I can not say it was unrest, nor yet unhappiness. 

But something deep within my soul seemed stirred; 

Aye, unto its inmost depths. 

In the sweet silence, I had so oft 

Called out for open eyes, illumination, clear, divine. 

And now, it seemed to me this soul of mine 

From depths of being, innermost, 

Was awakening quite to the response. 

Yet I anticipated not. 

I was quite calm and self-possessed, 

And ne'er more poised, I must confess 

Than now. The hours sped on. The blinds, 

I drew close down to shield my eyes 

From e'en a touch of light. 

I fastened well the door; 

Again betook me to my couch. The hour 

Was growing late. 

The clock chimed out the noon hour of the night, 

When I, perchance, might free partake 

Of blessings rich and rare, 

That might for my illumination make. 

Oh, what an hour was this 

For feast of soul and gift of God. 

How little did I guess 

The banquet table that was being spread for me, in this, 

The darkness so intense. 

217 



As shifts the scene in deepest gloom 

On stage of some vast theatre, 

So seemed the subtle workings that were taking place 

Within my room, before my face; 

And yet I viewed it not. 

A rift of light its radiance lent 

As on some holy mission bent. 

Another and another still, 

In quick succession followed, filled 

My room with one vast lurid gleam of dazzling light. 

Again, and yet again it flashed 

From Mighty Source in zig-zag lines. 

In cross and circle bold; e'en did I hear the thunders 

crash. 
I queried deep within my breast, 
Was this the Spirit Power I And then amid this 
Weird, wild scene, there came a mist 
Not far away from where I lay 
With wondering eyes, in holy calm. 
For had I not with longing, intense, deep, 
Called out for this divine illumination, that now sweeps 
My soul, and e'en the entire room? 

Had I not known the power, untold, 

Of calling only on the Grood, the Heavenly Light, 

I might have taken fright and fled. 

Not so; around my bed 

I knew stood sentinels from heaven. 

Fearless I watched with eager eyes. 

The cloud of filmy white which now did rise 

In matchless purity, until it formed an arch in height 

Of man's dimensions. Then it separated quite, 

Threw back its filmy, sheen-like folds 

218 



Of drapery, and behold! 

In archway shining bright, there stood in clear full view 

With outstretched arms. 

One of such dazzling splendor, glowing charms. 

So peerless in his majesty and grace, 

I scarce dared breathe. 

To gaze upon his radiant face. 

Was bliss divine. 

His softly flowing robes which swept the floor, * 

No language can describe. The hour 

Was Heaven's own. Around him, myriad angel ones 

Were moving swiftly; 

They were not visible in form; but ever kept the room 

In atmosphere of constant move and sweet perfume. 

In all-absorbing love. 

In blackest silence now a moment passed. 

And then, once more, the lightnings flashed. 

Unbridled as before. 

Again the archway opened bold; 

Back swept the snowy, misty folds; 

And lo! with loving hands outstretched. 

As if in benediction sweet. 

He now stood forth. I bounded to my feet; 

And, to know that it was I, pressed hard my flesh. 

Could it be true that unto me 

Should come such power of sight f 

Such opening of the mysteries 

Of Heaven? This holy one of dazzling light. 

This wondrous presence, now, from whom 

Swept forth such consciousness of love, 

The earth, the heaven above, 

219 



Seemed all aflame, and all divine. 

Creation, in the soul of man. 

Stands forth as God's Eternal Plan; 

And childlike heavenly desires 

But kindle vast creative fires 

Whose incense reaches heaven. 

The earnest, intense longings, deep 

Within my soul, tO' bathe in heavenly visions sweet 

Of light and gleaming love, 

Opened again the portals wide. 

And lo ! the shining One appeared ; all radiant, glorified. 

His face divine. 

The majesty of this scene sublime 

Will dwell with me throughout Eternity. 

Scarce had he vanished from my view. 

When once again the sheen-like curtains rose and fell, 

And rose again; while through and through, 

My soul was thrilled with love divine; 

Behold! a sweet Madonna. On her face was look 

Of heavenly peace; and in her hands, a book; 

Methinks the teachings of the Christ. Oh, wondrous 

Light! 
Around her head, a halo bright 

Shone forth. Playing anear her shoulders of rare mould 
Were numerous faces which did e'er unfold 
In beauty rare, and childlike grace. 
'^Mother," I whispered, and apace 
The vision fled. 

Within my hands I clasped my head, 

To see if now, perchance, 

I might not be in dreamland, or entranced. 

220 



Or reaching out in some imagination wild. 

But calm within myself, spake God; 

^^Ah, no, my child, 

I have but answered thy sweet prayer. 

Thou hast but started up the stair-way 

Of illumination. Thou shalt fear not, but onward press 

Thou 'It sense my love, my sweet caress. 

Thou 'It know the Everlasting One 

That guides thee on, from sun to sun. 

Great Eros, with a soul of fire. 

Hath played upon the heavenly lyre 

Of faith, within thy soul. 

Hath shown himself to thee, my child, 

In softest halo, flashings wild 

Of rare electric power. 

Let not this hour pass by thee idly, child of Love; 

But claim thy Oneness. Let me smooth 

Thy pathway to the Eternal gate 

Of Heaven, within thy soul. 

And then, behold, the softened light 

Of dimly burning taper; 

And all seemed normal and aright. 

But, as if now to prove 

To doubting mind, this wondrous love; 

Stands open wide my door. 

Which I had fastened hard with lock and bolt. 

In wondering ecstasy I paced the floor; 

Gazing in holy awe upon the spot whereon great Eros 

stood. 
I meditated long. Closed now the door 
Which was the parting proof 
Of angel presence 'neath my roof; 

221 



Then sought my couch. To sleep? 

Ah no! To muse for hours in silence dear. To keep 

Within my soul the grandeur of this hour, 

So fired with love, so wondrous bright. 

Toward mom, sweet slumber wooed my eyes. 

It was a rest of pure delight; 

Of such refreshing power 

I felt within me glow anew, the fervor of the hour; 

The fountain of Immortal Life. 

Erasing from my mind the strife 

That hitherto had reigned 

As ^twixt the seen and unseen. God had deigned 

To teach me in his own sweet way. 

And, at the dawning of the day. 

There fled not from me this great truth, nor lost 

The undimmed splendor of the Heavenly Host, 

That move in sweet accord 

With God's own will; Who, with his word 

Makes the unseen as doubly real. 

And ever fills my soul with ecstasy. 

Abides with me, and makes award 

For all my hours of grief and ill, 

Makes me to know my oneness still 

With Life Immortal, which is God.
